Why cannot I print any email without all technical header details?

TB v.52.9.1 (32-bit) on Windows 7 x64: Suddenly yesterday I found that, when printing or previewing emails, all the header details (including routing instructions) are appearing on the screen and in the printer document. Can anyone explain why this might have started happening and how I can prevent it?

Chosen solution

In the main Thunderbird window, open its menu (that means the traditional menu across the top; press the alt key if you can't see this menu).

Go to View|Headers. I think yours is set to All; change it to Normal.

Whilst this menu item says "view" it also applies to what is placed into a reply or forward, and what is printed.
