There's something weird going on with Thunderbird for us.
We have a generic Plusnet email account, mostly used by Mrs R. It used to be used exclusively from Thunderbird on the Win10 box, but these days Mrs R mostly uses her iPad with whatever mail system Apple provides, and the Win10 box only gets turned on every couple of weeks. I've set up some forwarding on Thunderbird there, so that any email that turns up for my specific address gets forwarded to my separate personal email address on my MBP. Some time in the past year or so, I started seeing those forwarded emails turning up on the Mac with full headers, which is a right pain. Worse, yesterday Mrs R asked me to print an email from Thunderbird on the Win10 box, and that was printed with long headers, which was pretty useless.
I normally use Mac Mail as a client, but I do also have Thunderbird on my Mac, specifically configured to access the generic email (there are so many marketing emails on there, no way am I letting them near my main email!). Yesterday I found that I could forward from Thunderbird on the Mac and get normal short headers, and I could print from the same system with short headers. That's the behaviour I want on the Win10 box, but I can't find a setting which is different, or which controls this behaviour! Both versions are up to date as far as I know.
Does anyone know where I should look for a setting controlling this?
It's definitely not something I've deliberately changed on the Win10 box; in fact I don't remember making any changes to Thunderbird settings on either system for years. But then again, I'm that old now, maybe I've forgotten!
