- This article applies to Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite.
It is not normally possible to print only the text that you have selected in a message. If you try to do so by selecting some text and clicking on the Print button, what you will find in the Print dialog is that the option for "Print selection" is grayed out and cannot be selected; the only choice is to print the whole message or not print it at all.
One workaround is to right-click on the message and choose "Edit as New..." (or go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Edit Message as New"), which will open the message in a new window. If you now select some text and bring up the Print dialog, the "Print selection" option can now be selected, and you can now print the selected text instead of the whole message.
