Can I get Mail.app to print the email without the attached images
I'm moving from Entourage to Mail. I just want to print the text, but not the full image when I print out emails. I get a lot of attached images and Mail always wants to print them - even when I am viewing the attached image as an icon. I just need to file a paper copy for my work, but I am burning through ink. I'm stuck. Anyone have more ideas?

More information
Oh yeah, I am running 10.6.3 . I have seen other people posting to forums about this, but I haven't found a solution yet.

Step 1: With the message selected, click View>Message>Plain Text Alternative in the menu bar.
Step 2: Print. |

P.S. If you will be doing this often, use the keyboard shortcuts ⌥⌘P followed by ⌘P.

The image remains
I just tried it, no luck. This only affects the text. The image remains, but the text changes formatting to plain.

Get the latest version of TinkerTool, http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html. TinkerTool will display a Snow Leopard tab (for Snow Leopard users) and under it a setting for:
Mail: Don't display contents of attachments inline Check it. Restart your Mac. Now, when you print from Mail, you'll print only the name of the attachment along with the message itself. |

You are right
I had to log off and log back in for it to work. Same setting but I set it from the Terminal using the "defaults" command.
Entered this line into Terminal: defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes Got it from here - micahgilman.com @macosnoob, I set it a few hours ago, tested, failed. logged out, and I didn't realize that it worked for printing until I saw your post and logged in to test it again. This is great. Thanks. |
