Description Mikel Ward 2008-09-03 04:03:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I wanted to print an email on one page.

I tried Print->Print Preview, and it came up as one and a bit pages.

I tried setting the scale to 90.0% under the Page Setup tab on the print dialog before clicking on Print Preview, but the preview was the same.

Steps to reproduce:
Message->Edit as New...
File->Print...
Page Setup
Change scale to to 90.0%
Click the Print Preview button

Actual results:
Print preview is the same as it was when scale was 100.0%

Expected results:
The print preview shows me what would actually be printed, and I can see if the scale change I made will make it fit on one page before I waste the paper.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Hmm... the printed page spans two pages even at 80%.  It seems the scaling happens after the full page is rendered, which isn't what I wanted (in Firefox, it scales the whole document).

This doesn't mean the print preview is correct.  It still doesn't apply scaling.

Likely a dupe of bug #540282.
