Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages verbatim copy from bugs.debian.org/446912 with patch of Daniel Burrows "If you change the header style from the "View" menu, then print the current message, KMail prints the message with the previous header style. It doesn't change the printed header style until you exit and restart the program. Furthermore, if you hide the message pane, the headers always print as "fancy" headers instead of using the mode selected from View. And to top things off, changes to the header mode from a message window (what you get by double-clicking a message) are ignored completely by the printer. It doesn't seem to matter how the print command is invoked (via a menu item, right-clicking, or the toolbar); the results are the same every time. It looks to me like the culprit is KMPrintCommand. It creates a fresh, hidden KMReaderWin to print the message -- but because KMPrintCommand doesn't close over the currently selected print mode, the new reader will use the global default print mode. This should be a pretty straightforward fix; I'll try to do it on the way to work today.
Currently, I can't test the patch, because printing in KHTML is broken, see bug 152667. If that gets fixed, remind me to look after this patch here again.
