When I print an email, I get ALL the headers!
Is there a way to control what I get, and to control the typeface --
particularly the size?
Thanks.

Check out Printing Tools extension which offers header control as well

I don't believe that is a standard setting - where do you get it?

I think he means: Alt-M then E
Which is the same as clicking the _M_essage menu, then _E_dit as New.
Choose Print from the menu of the new window.
Seems to work; nothing more than the body of the email. But you can no
longer tell (from the printed copy) which/what email it came from. I'd
rather print the Subject,From,Date,To.

I believe that's an option that's added by the Mnenhy extension.

do, the Alt-E will activate the "Edit" dropdown. Messages -> Edit as New
is a key of *Control-E*. Keystrokes are of course shown as underscores on
the appropriate letter, and to the right on the dropdown menus.

Actually, I was hitting the ctrl key and getting a blank message - hate

instead of printing, go about performing printing duties using 'tricks'
and the system's printer drivers in different ways.
For example, how Opera the browser handles a printing duty is different
from the way Chrome or Chromium the browser goes about handling the same
printing duty and those tricks are manifested differently when I use
linux printer drivers than when I use windows printer drivers.
IMO, neither of the browsers is really designed to be a 'strong'
printing application -- like Tb is not designed to be a strong printing
application.
It sounds to me like Printing Tools adds a lot more capability to
something - Tb - that is not primarily a printing app -- Tb is more like
"I can do some light printing." PT says, "I can do quite a bit more."
Re fonts, PT says:
" - it can use a font family and a font size in printing messages (for
the whole message or just for headers);"

Your headers indicate Win7 with the 64/32 subsystem.
What is the brand and model of your printer? Which drivers are you
