iris_99,

Microsoft would appear to have a major printing problem with IE7, which is potentially damaging for small businesses. Not only does it cause OE6 emails to print
without headers - when a picture is attached - and show the message in micro
font at top left, but it also fails to print certain web pages.

From the long forums discussion listed above.

I have found the simplest workaround is:
Control+A or Right Click then 'Select All'
Control+P or File>Print then 'Print Selection'

It works every time for me to print headers but it sometimes does not help with the shrinking problem.

Good luck!

And MS finally has a KB article on it.  They have a hotfix but you need to contact them to get it.

Thanks Iris,
Hopefully MS will actually roll out a fix sometime to the public.

Windows Live Mail

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Outlook Express, a discontinued email and news client bundled with several versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows Server 2003, and available for Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. In Windows Vista, Outlook Express was superseded by Windows Mail, then again by Windows Live Mail as separate software. Outlook Express is a different application from Microsoft Outlook. Beginning with Windows Vista Microsoft included Windows Mail, based on large parts of Outlook Express source code.
