Hi Jack!

In the print dialogue, select the 3rd tab =E2=80=9CMessage=E2=80=9D.  There=
 you will find two options below the right =E2=80=9CHighlighting=E2=80=9D h=
eader (which looks like a copy-paste error, btw., it should read =E2=80=9CH=
TML options=E2=80=9D):
* deactivate =E2=80=9CPrefer text/plain over HTML=E2=80=9D and
* activate =E2=80=9CDownload content from remote servers (may be dangerous)=
=E2=80=9D.

Note that you must check the second option even if you already downloaded t=
he external contents.

Background: when I implemented HTML printing through rendering to a webkit =
buffer, iirc I didn't find a (simple) way to pass the user's choice for dow=
nloading external contents to the print dialogue, or I just didn't care=E2=
=80=A6=F0=9F=A4=94=EF=B8=8F

The other issue is that the downloaded external contents is stored in Balsa=
's HTML cache (i.e. printing will /not/ download it again), but it seems to=
 be impossible to check in webkit whether or not an external reference is s=
tored in it.  So it is not possible to automatically print the HTML with al=
l items already being available locally.

Hope this helps,
Albrecht.
