"Printable Version": minor gripe

The "printable version" feature is great, especially when I need to print out a bunch of threads so I can catch up after a long absence (just got back from vacation).

However:


• It loses much formatting (mainly HTML).
• The font is not terribly readable.


#1 might require too much PHP hackery to be worth fixing, but I'm fairly certain something can be done about #2. Could a serif font be substituted? Maybe increase the leading by half a point?

{Edited because the "Printable Version" feature does not eradicate quote boxes. I don't know why I thought it did.}

This I can work on. If you don't see anything by next week, bug me again via PM. #1 baffles me a bit, though - I still see some HTML (bold, italics, and the like) and quote boxes when I view the printable version. Thanks!
