Vista - Print problem with latest Windows Live Update?

3 Weeks Ago

I was not aware that you could drag and drop an EML file into an
open IE window.

The workaround is not perfect, because the IE window displays the
body of the message only. The To, From, Date and Subject lines
are missing. However, it is better than nothing, so thank you
very much for the suggestion.

I have also found that an alternative workaround, which involves
the use of Windows Live Mail with a Hotmail, MSN or Live email
account. (Incidentally, this workaround doesn't seem to work
with a GMail account).

1. Save the message an EML file on your desktop.

2. Drag and drop the EML file from your desktop to the Hotmail
inbox in your Windows Live Mail folder list.

3. Synchronize your Hotmail mail account in Windows Live Mail
with the server.

4. Then, use a web browser to sign into the Hotmail account.

5. Open the message

6. Upon the assumption that you are using IE7 or IE8, select
print preview and click on the icon that turns off headers and
footers.

7. Print the resulting pages.

And to those people who criticised the OP for wanting to print an
email (save the forests, etc), a totally paperless office is just
as bad as a paperless lavatory! I only print those messages
where a hard copy is essential - probably less than 1% of all
emails.

I keep forgetting about that. Well, then you could print
the headers first and then print the body and join them
together somehow.

That sounds like more work. ; )
