Print an email
Print or save a copy of one open message. This build does not print a whole thread.
- Open the message in the reading pane.
- Press ⌘P, or choose Print… from the detail overflow menu.
- Use the OS print dialog. On macOS, Save as PDF… is an OS option. Opening Print does not create a file until you save one.
The print view includes subject, From, To, Cc, date, and a sanitized copy of the body. Remote images follow the current message image policy. Very large bodies can be truncated instead of printed.
Export To…
Section titled “Export To…”From the same overflow menu, Export To… offers:
- PDF (via Print…) — the same OS print path, with remote images stripped. Choose Save as PDF… in the dialog if you want a file.
- HTML file — a local sanitized HTML copy.
- Markdown file — a Markdown copy of the stored message.
- Copy as Markdown is a separate overflow item.
If you need the original message file from the server, download
it from your mail provider. A Primail .eml export is rebuilt
from the stored copy and is not that original archive. The
reader menu does not list EML.
