Hi Jack,

sorry, it took a little longer to look into this issue due to a huge amount of 
real-life (for €) work…

I reworked the display of multipart/alternative messages, please see issue #75 
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/issues/75> and the branch 
75-html-display-printing.  It /should/ fix your printing issues, at least it works 
for a variety of messages in my mailbox:

Basically:
- If a second “view” of the same message is opened, exactly the same selection 
of html or plain parts is displayed.
- As long as at least one instance of a message is visible, Balsa remembers if 
external content referenced in HTML parts has been downloaded, i.e. when 
opening a 2nd view and the external content has been loaded, Balsa will /not/ 
ask, but just loads it from the cache.  Unfortunately, it is not possible to 
store this information permanently, or to query the Webkit cache, so when a 
message is re-opened after all views have been closed, Balsa will ask again.  
No idea how I could fix this (easily).
- Printing a message prints exactly the selection of html or plain parts and 
external contents as in the view from which the print operation has been 
initiated.  No extra configuration for printing (3rd tab of the print dialogue) 
is required any more.

It would be great if you could give it a try, and share your impressions.

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.

Hi Albrecht,

Recently I received an email containing a plain text part and a html part. The 
contents of both was different. So I couldn't read them as one email. Printing 
was not possible.

Best regards,
John Jack Doe
