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.
