What exactly do you mean by format? Something like templates? I don't see much 
use in it. Let's make one perfect design instead of many average designs.

You can either print all headers or standard headers (From, To, Date, Subject, 
CC) which I'd call absolute minimum for determining context of the email. Any 
other headers are usually not user-friendly and make no sense to be printed 
unless you really really want them and then 'all headers' is the right choice.

If you want to print a particular attachment, you can print it individually  
via it's popup menu. These additional options would made the printing process 
more complicated by adding at least one more dialog, since we can't change the 
default "Printing" dialog.
