How can I display all Headers (View|Headers|All), but print the email without the headers (View|Headers|Normal) without having to change settings each time

I like seeing the detail of the headers during normal email viewing. However, when I print, I almost never want to print all of those headers. Other Q/As on this forum tell how to set the view options to normal (View|Headers|Normal) to avoid printing the headers, and that works, but then I lose the detailed header view I like when viewing on the screen. I don't want to change the setting every time I print. Can the View->Headers option be kept for viewing on the screen, but a new option be added to indicate whether to include headers when printing?

I would install PrintingTools, and see if the option to 'Hide always extended headers' works as you wish.
