Description Kip 2017-11-30 20:18:44 UTC 
When printing an email, it is not possible to print exclusively either plain text or HTML version. Printing appears to print both versions in 3.26.1.

Thanks for a bug report. I tried to reproduce this, but no luck. I have printed only the HTML part of the message, not both. It might be some setting you use. Could it be that you have in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->HTML Messages tab->Plain Text Mode section, set to Show suppressed HTML parts as attachments and together with it other than "Show HTML if present", thus you see the plain text part in the preview and an HTML part as an attachment? The print code tries to expand attachments it knows about, thus it can look like it prints both parts.

Thanks Milan. I think you are right. I thought only the rendering in the message window was affected by that setting, but toggling it I see it also affects printing. That solves my problem, though I'd suggest having a hint in the UI that it affects both.

Let's not print HTML attachments created by the Prefer Plain plugin. That will make things similar to the preview, but without the artificial attachments.

Created commit bfa7a38979 in evo master (3.31.92+)
