How can I print emails from Thunderbird without getting a page and a half of header/tracking data at the top of the message? TBird 52.9.1 on Windows 10.

Whenever I print an email from Thunderbird, I get 1-1/2 pages of unwanted tracking/header data at the top. By using Print Preview, I can at least tell it to skip the first page, but it's still far from optimal.

I've found that if I save an email and then print from the saved file, it prints more normally, although it still appends all of the tracking data to the end. This is also a tedious, undesirable workaround, though, that adds several steps.

I'm running Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32 bit) in Windows 10.

View|Headers|Normal

I'm guessing yours is set to "All".

And, yes, while it says "View" it does also affect what is printed and what is included when replying or forwarding.
