Thanks. I added this.

Unless you tell it otherwise, the printing mechanism just prints the 
NSView "as-is" (i.e. WYSIWYG). GNUMail could fit the text to a single 
page width by setting horizontalPagination, but that would just result 
in everything being scaled to fit the width.

To actually re-layout the text for a page width, I imaging GNUMail would 
have to write the text into a different (hidden) view that fit the page 
size and print that.

Does it work otherwise on MacOSX? If so perhaps I'll have to look at the 
documentation again to see where I went wrong.

Of course, that isn't to say that there aren't a whole bunch of bugs in 
the printing mechanism. I just fixed a few along with adding this patch.

I just got a printer hooked up to my computer so now maybe I'll have 
more incentive to get printing working better.
