No, that is only what I see if my fontsize for the reader window is around 12 
Pt. For example if I set the font size to 24 and resize the window that the 
message fits in, only half of the width on the paper is used although is uses 
full width on the screen.

If I remove m_part->setFontSizes(fontSizes) then I see that always. Even the 
line breaks are exactely at the same places then.

I think the best way would be if khtmlview would always use the same 
fontsize, e. g. 10 or 12 Pt for printing independant of the window width and 
the font size on the screen. Bigger or smaller fonts are not useful on the 
paper IMO. Netscape for example does it that way. The fontsize for printing 
is not even configurable there.

PS: Would be nice, if you could look at my three patches posted yesterday and 
the day before yesterday to the list.
