I don't understand. Isn't it what we already support?

Almost ;-) For an example, take this thread - viewing the entire thread loads the whole thing, just to then select the plain jane version. Seems backwards. Second, the only way I can get the 'PLAIN TEXT' suitable for printing is to CTRL-A CTRL-C, open Notepad, CTRL-V and I now have something to print. Clean and simple. No HTML, formatted to suit me. If I just do a print from the browser, I end up with the whole site - well, almost.
