    windows mail and printing

    when I try printing an email message and it prints, it is printing in very
    hugh fonts and you see only half the page. And then it makes windows mail
    appear in very large fonts. I have shut my computer off and restarted, I have
    refreshed several times and nothing is working. This is only happening in
    windows mail as I can print normal from my documents and pictures etc.

    Please advise
    Thank you

    Windows Mail uses the same print engine as Internet Explorer.

    For print size: IE | View | Text Size | Make adjustment.

    For margins: IE | File | Page Setup. Default setting is 0.75, (19mm), all
    around.

    The print size produced by WM is dictated by the setting in Internet
    Explorer>View>Text size.

    The margins size, that can create extra pages, is also dictated by a setting
    in Internet Explorer>File menu>page setup>margins (adjust accordingly).
