mail.show_headers weird problem
Thunderbird 2.0.0.X
Problem:
Printing email messages results in getting half-a-page of mail header information, before the actual message content. This is ugly as well as wasting paper and ink.
Summary:
For the past couple of months I've been having this problem with Thunderbird 2.0.0.X (5-pre at the moment) whereby printing mail messages means that I always get a print of mail envelope headers which can be very long (nearly half-a-page for some messages.) I couldn't find anything in the print-options to turn the thing off and have been looking at different options for the past month.
Today, I finally hit upon: mail.show_headers default integer 2
Replacement of Mozilla's show all headers (because the original value is overriden)
user_pref("extensions.enigmail.show_headers",1);
JS: Both mail.show_headers and extensions.enigmail.show_headers control the viewing of the headers (normal=1 / all=2).
As Enigmail needs to see all headers, it sets mail.show_headers to 2 and stores the desired view in extensions.enigmail.show_headers.
The default is derived from the setting of mail.show_headers.
Of course, once you know where the 'problem' is, it becomes easier to find the 'solution.'
Unfortunately, the printing process doesn't have a separate setting (to allow you to differentiate what you get on screen as opposed to what you get out the printer.) The solution to my printing problem is:
Set mail.show_headers to "1" (without the quotes)
But what happens to my enigmail now?
