I suspect most people do as I do, which is to copy the message into a
word processor massage it a little, and print it out.  Or maybe take ascreen 
shot.

I'm afraid there's a long standing (>12 yrs) bug for this:

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320895

There's been no activity or comments on it for a long time, so it won't
look to the devs that it's important.  I presume that people don't tend
to print emails very much (which is no help if you do need to print
them!). Add a comment to the bug report if it's important to you.

BTW I think the mail printing format is determined by the file 

 /usr/share/evolution/theme/webview-print.css

(that's for F27 - it may vary by distro).  It needs root privs to edit
it and you need to know CSS and I have no idea how the individual CSS
components interact with each other - so go gently with it and try
things. Any changed you make will probably be over-written the next
time Evo is updated.

[Evolution] Printer issues

2017-12-29 Thread Jonathan Ryshpan
   1. File->Print Preview does exactly the same thing as File->Print.  There 
doesn't seem to be any way to get a preview except to print to file and then 
view it.
   2. (More Important) Everything prints larger than I would like: fonts too 
big, images too big.  An example is attached.  Very often the print output 
takes several pages when it would easily fit on one.  How can I control the 
print size?

System is Fedora-27
KDE-5 Desktop
Evolution-3.26.3-1.fc27.x86_64
