How to print e-mail without all addressees

I am sure that this question was asked and answered, but I don't remember the answer.
Basically, I have received an e-mail which had been sent to about 100 other addresses. I don't see the other addresses until I try to print, and this takes a good half a page.
I tried to Edit as New, in SeaMonkey, deleting all addresses (it took me 15 min. to do that), and then Save. I ended up with the same unedited e-mail in Drafts, and without the Addresser. I have been doing the same by selecting Reply, but sending to another address.
As for Thunderbird, I don't see any Edit as New.
I, finally, solved one nagging problem. That was due to the fact that several e-mail printed with a very small font. I fumbled my way to Page Setup, which was preset at Shrink to fit page, unchecking the box. Why do they have this?
It has no value, and it is just a nuisance.

 

Hi Westside, I have "Edit as New" add-on for TB and can "Print Selection" for the body of the e-mail thus avoiding all the addresses. You could also copy and paste the body of the e-mail to Word or Notepad and print from there.

Here's the link to the Edit as New add-on for TB: Edit as New

 

In Seamonkey or TB save as text file then open it in a text editor an remove the email address's

 

Westside,

In Thunderbird, click on Message | Edit Message as new.

In SeaMonkey, I did the Edit as new with only 10 CC's, deleted the CC's, saved as Draft. Then a double click on the Draft, and sent with only one address. You weren't holding your tongue right!

 

It seems that my reply got lost.
I tried everything, including the add-on, with no success. Just for the record, I want to keep the addresser name. All I want to do is to get rid of the ccs.
I find it hard to believe that there is no way to do it.
But, also, I must say that it may be a theme related problem, especially having the Penelope add-on in TB. I don't know if this is the reason why I don't have Edit as new line in TB.
I will keep trying, and report any success.
But, if this was not understood, I know how to remove the ccs, but, in the process I lose the addresser.
I tried the add-on in Netscape Messenger, which does not have the Penelope add-on. Yes, I see the icons of the add-on. No, it does not help at add. The results are identical to those obtained any other way.
How do you get Print selection? By the way the Options button is grayed out in all my programs.

 

Westside ...

You asked essentially the same question last July in this thread.

As I suggested then, the quick and dirty way to get rid of all the CC:s before printing a message which has been sent to numerous recipients is to forward the message to yourself.

When the (forward) composition window opens, the Subject:, Date:, From:, and To: information will appear in the composition section, along with the original message. You can delete as much, or as little, of that information as you like, and the addresses in the To: section can be deleted in a block, rather than one line at a time, as must be done with "Edit As New ".

When you receive the forwarded message the header will, of course, show you as both sender and recipient, but the original sender's information will appear in the body of the message just above the original message. To print the message without your own information appearing, use the "Print Selection" method suggested by JohnB in post #2 and further explained in post #7.

Note: This must be done from either a "Forward" or an "Edit As New" composition window ... "Print Selection" is ghosted in a message that's simply been opened.​

FWIW, I installed the "Edit As New" extension, but found it to be of little value (for me) ... it does add an icon to the TB toolbar, but there are no options. I was unable to find the "Print Selection" mentioned by JohnB on any menu, either toolbar or context. (For the answer, see John's explanation in the next post, #7.)

I also installed the Penelope theme, and "Edit As New" was still available on both the Message menu and the various context menus.

 

Jim, the "Print Selection" option comes up on your printer menu after you select the text to print and click on "Print ".

See attached jpg.

 

Hi John,

Thanks for pointing that out ... it never occurred to me (at 1:30 in the morning ) that you were referring to the Print window, rather than a menu selection.

That, by itself, unfortunately, doesn't address Westside's desire to print a message with multiple CC:s deleted, while retaining the sender's information. AFAIK, that can be done only after a message has been forwarded to one's self, and then only from a "Forward" or "Edit As New" composition window.

 

Thank you, Jim. The Forward method is the least cumbersome, although not fully satisfactory. I was hoping to preserve the Sender in its proper location, but it has the info where I can get it, if I remember to look at a forward to myself.
As for "selection" it is grayed out, in the Print box. I highlighted the text, but "selection" staid grayed out. This was with my Thunderbird, Eudora, and Netscape Messenger, all of which had the add-on, or Seamonkey, which did not have the add-on.
Thanks to all of you. I rarely have a need for anything like this, but it was an e-mail from a friend, whose apartment had serious smoke damage after a fire almost destroyed the apartment across the hall ( thus the huge attachment).

 

Westside ...

For the "Print Selection" option to be available, the message you've forwarded to yourself must be opened using either "Forward" or "Edit As New ".

 

Jim,
I had forwarded the message to the same address, and sent. After receiving I opened it, and tried to print it. Since the message had a massive attachment, and I view attachments inline, it printed the text, with the sender on top (good), as well as the attachment, an image file, about 3x2 ft. in size. I think that I am asking too much. Should I been able to Print Selection from the Forward before sending? It, definitely, does not work after sending.
Thanks. Your suggestion to Forward is the easiest to implement, and I am fairly satisfied. The Edit as New takes too long to remove the nearly 100 ccs.

 

Westside ...

Good catch! You can definitely use "Print Selection" from a Forward window, and you don't actually have to send the message. I don't know why I didn't think of that ... too close to the trees, I suppose.

Are you saying that you can't select and print text in a received forward? If so, I don't know why, as it works for me. That's what I was basing my suggestions on.

 

You are corrent. It may be the Penelope add-on, which causes in TB and Eudora8.b1 to show no icons in View|Toolbars. Netscape Messenger, though early alpha, works beautifully. It does not have the Penelope add-on, and, sure enough icons which be placed in the toolbars, can be seen. But no "selection" there either. In each program it is grayed out.
It does not matter very much, as, I ,hopefully, will never have to deal with such a situation.
