Making this option configurable seems like drastic overkill to me, but it also appears as if that was the issue holding this ticket up. This has been added (HEAD only).

I don't personally want it, but it's a relatively standard feature - though a lot of larger sites use cover sheets to take care of this universally. It could even be a site config option, for just admins to turn on/off. Could even just do this for all print stylesheets optionally or something.

I don't consider this useful for the majority of users, but Chuck seems to have a different opinion. It should at least be a preference, but I still prefer a local patch.

How about this instead? It sets nowrap on "Printed by" and puts this code in the header template. Is this intended to be controlled by a preference?

Can this be commited or rejected? I'm trying to cleanup my attache of local patches and this is one of them.

This highly complex patch adds a simple "Printed by:" header to any message that is printed out. I don't know if others would find this useful or not. Our legacy email client added this, and its beneficial in our environment, as one user pointed out, "There are ten of us that share one printer and its difficult to distinguish between printed messages without a Printed by:". Uses the fullname, if its set, or the username otherwise. If its accepted, the actual formatting of the Printed By: header could probably be changed, to set it off from the actual message header a bit.
