When I print from Mail I get the simple header and then a portion of the body of the message. The most bizarre thing is that the portion of the body is UPSIDE DOWN. Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

Here's a clipping from a print preview:

I would really appreciate any info you might have on this. And I apologize if this has been discussed, but Search failed every time I tried to use it.

How long has it been doing this? Any "extra" 3rd-party Mail.app stuff installed?

I honestly haven't printed an email from Mail since ... ever, so this is the first time that I've discovered this little problem.

I have two email filters installed SpamHolio and JunkMatcher, but they are both AppleScripts, so I wouldn't think that they would be able to change the function of Mail in this way. I also have PGP installed. Could this have something to do with it?

PGP *could* be the culprit, can you try disabling that and see if it fixes your problem? Are you using Panther or Jaguar?

This happened to me once. I never found a solution - other than copying the text to Textedit and printing from there. It seemed to be specific to this one email I received. I haven't encountered it again.

I appreciate your sharing. I tested it out with a couple of other emails and they print fine. It's just this ONE message. Weird. I'll be sure to save this message in case in ever happens again. Maybe by comparing the two I can see what it is that they would have in common.

I found a solution described on Apple Forums. Before you print, enlarge or shrink the font, using "shift cmd +" or "cmd -". Now problematic emails print properly.
