How to print part of a message in Mail 5.0

Select the part, copy it, paste it into TextEdit, and print. Much cleaner and easier way. If there's a way to do it in Mail, you'll have to wait for someone who uses it; I don't, I use Eudora.

I use Mail and can't find a way directly. To add to baltwo's suggestion, you can go to Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, select Services and check 'New TextEdit Window Containing...'. Whenever you select the text in Mail, Control-Click and choose New TextEdit Window Containing Selection and print from TextEdit.

Control-click or right-click on the selected text in the email message. A popup menu will appear. The "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" item should be in that menu; choose it.

I am sorry that this is not a feature of Mail, but perhaps I am the only one to need it.

Hi,

It's a feature I would like to see, also! Please send Feedback to: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

Better would be to send an enhancement request directly to engineering. To send a bug report or an enhancement request to Apple's engineers via its Bug Reporter system, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

this thread is old.. but still active?

my suggested work-around is to highlight the bit you wish to print. while highlighted, press command-R to "reply." the resulting "reply" will contain only the portion you've hightlighted + header. continue to print as normal.

now, what I'M trying to figure out ought to be simple, but i can't find it. i would like to change print setting to print at a larger font. this must exist, yes? where?

thanks.

That only works if what we want to print is exclusively text.
