I think I can reproduce the behaviour that Adrian and mklose see.

If you do not have the 'View HTML' option selected in Preferences then the 'Print View' shows the raw HTML code. If the 'View HTML' option is selected then the print view renders the HTML properly.

Adrian, can you confirm this? Do you have the 'View HTML' option selected? If not, then selecting it should correct the print view of HTML messages.

Although this is a workaround, I think the underlying issue is still a bug. Many users will disable HTML viewing for security reasons (web bugs, etc.). Surely when the user has disabled HTML viewing of messages, the print view should use the plain text part or run the HTML through lynx if the message doesn't have a plain text part.

Regards,


Andrew
