Printing Mail with Header-Information
-
I've been using VIVALDI mail for a few days - I expected it to be fantastic and it is - but this one bug could lead to me reverting back to my old email client.
Quite obviously, if you are printing an "email" - you need to include in that print out who the email was sent to and when.
PS. if it helps, for me personally (but I am guessing this applies to many others) this is purely about saving a PDF copy of the email -

Hi, the request has 10 votes in two years, it is not even tagged as "Nice to have" or "Pipeline".
This will not be implemented any time soon, I fear.Cheers, mib

I think the ability to print is pretty essential though, for anything claiming to be email client software...
Just in case it helps others who are waiting on this feature, I today installed this EML to PDF converter (you can export the email to "EML" using the right click "save as" feature in Vivaldi Mail itself), and it worked nicely -
https://github.com/nickrussler/email-to-pdf-converterSo hopefully that solves this problem for me, and means I can carry on using the Vivaldi Mail software, which several weeks in I still overall regard as excellent.

@mib2berlin why tagging and 'voting' on essential features is pointless and should be abandoned.

@djlconsulting2022 Upvotes are only one of several criteria on which the developers prioritise their enormous list of feature requests, but it does at least give users a voice.

@Wolfgang Maybe it is alfeady solved. But you can take a screenshot of the mail, select copy to clipboard and then paste in writer or words

That is offensive to require users to 'screenshot' their emails because printing them doesn't function as expected. This is 2023. We are not the police. And with such an advanced browser, I am wondering what the motivation is to ignore this request for so long.

@djlconsulting2022 It must be at least ten years since I printed out an email for my records, but I understand that for some this may be a daily requirement.
However, with only 17 votes after more than 2 years, it is clearly not something that many users need.
It is not offensive to suggest workarounds to solve problems. For my use case, it is adequate, even better than printing directly from Vivaldi mail, as I could add notes before printing if I ever have a need for a hard copy of an important email.
I would have thought it was a simple feature to add, but apparently the developers know better, so you will have to wait or use the suggested workaround.

Almost three years after the thread was started this essential feature (which, by the way, worked fine in Opera more than 20 years ago) is still missing and annoying me on a frequent basis.
Printing a screenshot is no option as mails - especially the important ones - are usually longer than a few lines and only part of the mail is shown without scrolling. While it is possible to make a complete screenshot of a webpage (i. e. including the part that is currently not shown on the screen) that is not possible from a mail tab. -
I found an older bug report regarding this same issue. I have referenced this thread.
