Unless you have a higher priority rule that sets some other display 
value, it certainly should work on any reasonably modern browser - in 
fact, the failure mode on older browsers, would be to suppress that text 
  not just in the printout.

Generally you will find that print media types are honoured on both 
actually printing and print previewing.

However, from a semantics point of view, it would be better to use 
something like:

<div class=".... navigation ....."...

and use a "." selector, e.g.

.navigation, .banneradvert {display: none}

or whatever other reason applies for the content being noise.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
