291301 - Page setup header/footer options are from Mozilla, irrelevant to email

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[M]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 rd
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206)

In "Page Setup" - "Margins & Header/Footer", the options are relevant to a web
browser, not a mail client. They are Title, Date, URL, and page numbers. When
Title is selected, the Subject: is printed, but there is no way to select a mail
header like To:, From:, etc.


Reproducible: Always

Confirming. I couldn't find a dupe of this and it seems relevant. Possibly
related to bug 21432.

Right. URL at least is useless.

What things would we want to add? Do we want to push in this into extensions?  I don't see any print extensions on AMO

Thanks for bringing this up!  We really need to watch the Firefox terms that creep in.

Perhaps an easy rename of Title to Subject can be done.  Date seems relevant to me but maybe that should be more specific about Message Date; not sure that would really clarify.

We should make a list of some header to include.

To, Cc, From, Reply-To, Priority

Agreed.

I think most of this makes sense to get in the defaut and lots of the printing features from nic-nac also look good to me.
