I suggest adding a comment box to the print preview page that will appear at the top of the printed page. This allows users to add some last minute text to the email before it gets printed. (Google Maps does a similar thing if you request to print a map.)

The use case is for when I need to print out an email to file away or to show someone. Since I only print out very important emails or emails I need to show to someone who is not in the room, usually I need to highlight a point on the email or to add a comment about it. Currently, I have to write them out by hand which is ugly. If I get to type it it would look better. After printing, the text need not be saved.

Note that I don't want to modify the original email as it might be considered a privacy problem. I just want an extra box at the top clearly marked "additional comments".

Reproducible: Always

Sounds more like something for an extension.

Though it could be fairly useful... confirming RFE.
