No.  Bart didn't write anything for evolution (He's not at that level).

Kind of, yeah.  Additional functionality can, and has been, included in
the basic print dialog.  Matthew wrote a new version of the print dialog
that is to be included in a new release of evolution.

I'm not sure of that.  I have the options, you don't.  We are using the
same version of evolution.  I'm using openSUSE, you're using Mint.  I'm
using KDE, you're using Gnome (I think).  Seems like either you should
have the options, or I should not.

That's correct.

That's a definite maybe.  I upgraded mine, but I went to the gnome
repository of my distribution.  Evolution "could" be compiled with
static linking that would prevent it from looking for other libraries.
But then, you'd have to recompile it for every security update.  Not an
ideal situation.

Yes.

Is this where I put in a plug for openSUSE?

How about highlighting the body of the message, pasting it into
something like Kate (Oh wait...  gedit) and printing that?  A couple of
extra steps, but might save a tree or two.
