Print Format Problems are MAJOR
Been a long-time user of Opera and M2 (I guess they call it Opera Mail now) and gotta admit I have regretted that loyalty to the Opera email client, in particular, on many occasions. Now, however, the inability to print a complete email from the system is almost certain to drive me to a different browser platform altogether. I see the issue was raised some time ago as a known bug, and it is not yet fixed after weeks. As much as it pains me, the current pain level drives me through Thunderbird as a print mechanism anyway, so I may as well abandon the Opera platform.I am currently using Opera 10.53 on Windows 7. I recall when I first 'upgraded' to Opera 10, I lost a BUNCH of saved DRAFTS that were VERY important. I had been using the email client as a way of keeping my recorded thoughts on important topics recorded for future use. All lost and impossible to replace. Now this print format problem.
Is there ANY hope that Opera will FIX this thing in the near term?

There's hope. But, I'm not holding my breath.
I am also having trouble printing my emails. It cuts them off and I have been waiting for a fix for over 7 months. If opera does'nt get there
head on straight I will be leaving opera. I understand that it takes time to fix bugs. Guys, this is nuts. I am a programmer my self and I could have bug fixed like this in a week easy.
I have to fix bugs all the time . I know it's been over 7 months. I just download the newest version, and the problem has not been solved.

Opera has been suffering for ages from problems with printing mails. We can only hope that this problem will be solved, but it doesn't seem to get a high priority from the developers.
As a possible interim solution for your: export your mails with the eponymous context menu entry into MBox format *.mbs files, and then use utility programs to back-up, view, and print them, e.g. by importing them into Outlook. Here are some suggestions:
- Mbox2eml at http://www.ukrebs-software.de/
- MailStore Home http://www.mailstore.com/de/mailstore-home.aspx
MBox to EML converter http://www.emltopst.com/mbox-eml-convert-mbox-thunderbird-eudora-entourage/

Printing of messages works better in 10.60. See http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
You can try one of the snapshots now if you want, or wait till 10.60 goes final.
