Dear Guys,

I already searched the internet for information on this, but i was not
able to find any.
So, what I wanted to ask is just a simple and quick answerable question
on the print function of Thunderbird.

I want to print my email without any header, but if I set
"mail.show_headers" to "0", only the line with the recipient of the mail
disappears.
So I ask you, if there is any way to print a mail without those header
informations such as recipient, date, etc.
I'm also looking forward to a build-in option to disable the whole
header-showing while printing the mail.

Looking forward to your reply,
Stefan Möllenkamp

Hi Stefan,

The Printing Tools extension has an option to not print any headers.
You can get it here:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/index-en.html

You must right click on the Download link and "Save Link As" to
somewhere on your system. Then open the Add-Ons dialog box (Tools,
Add-ons) and drop the file onto the dialog box.

There is an add-on named Printing Tools that includes an option to hide
headers for printing.

> Dear Guys,

Right click on the message and select "Edit As New..." from the
drop-down menu that appears. You can then print from the Compose
window and the message will print without headers.

Why not just select the data, and cut and paste to a text editor. Seems
much less trouble...
I guess that wouldn't work with images, though.

There is a very nice Printing Tools extension at
http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/printingtools-en.html that will zap
those pesky headers from you print queue and save lots of trees.
