Is there a way to print an e-mail without also printing a long list of addresses?

I am a recipient of some newsletters whose authors include recipient e-mail addresses in the To and CC fields. Occasionally I want to forward the newsletter to friends who are not on-line. (Yes, there are still some around.) I do this by printing the newsletter and forwarding it via snail mail. I could reduce the number of pages if I could avoid printing the address list. 

  I have not found any discussion of this topic in Thunderbird help or Mozilla support.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to easily modify the Subject/From/Date/To section of the print layout.

Thunderbird can be customized with style rules, but since you only want to omit the To on a case by case basis, that would not be a convenient approach. (Unless one of the rules could limit To to no more than one line. Maybe that would be a reasonable workaround?)

You could check for an add-on.

I had looked for a "style-type" option but did not find any.

The above suggestion seems to be a usable solution.

Thanks
