I am trying to print an email that has pictures attached. I do not need the pictures to be printed. The pictures are showing in the body of the email. When I try to print it scales down the text to make two of the pictures fit on the first page.

How do I change this so I can print the text separately?

If the sender embedded the image instead of attaching it then you could try selecting only the text before printing That should print without the images. Thunderbird will only prints what is selected unless there is nothing selected. Then it prints all. You can test this with Print Preview.

If the image is truly an attachment, then go to the menu bar and select View and uncheck Display Attachments Inline.

No menu bar? Press the alt key.

You could also try View/Message Body As/Plain Text and check the outcome with File/Print Preview.
