Re: [PCWorks] How you can print something from an email WITHOUT having to print that header at the top that has your name, email address, subject, date, etc.?

Just to be clear, I DO HAVE the headers, I want to get RID of 
them, I don't want to print them.  That info appears to be the 
other way around.  But anyway, those two areas in that 
screenshot ("headers & footers") are blank anyway.  I can't 
even set top & bottom margins to "0", .118 is the smallest.

I don't think it has anything to do with margins, I think it's 
more of the 'header & footer thing', but from what I've seen 
when printing, what I'm talking about isn't your typical header 
& footer as printing dialogs describe.  If that info is there 
in the box when printing a webpage for example, the URL is 
printed at the bottom, and maybe the top too.  Go to print 
something in OE and you can see what I'm talking about.  In 
this email for example, it would print this at the top:

........Which I don't want, it's redundant.

I think I remember seeing "shrink to fit" in PDF files.

I looked for it too and couldn't find it. Here is another page 
with a work
around for the bug.
http://www.lancelhoff.com/missing-message-header-of-outlook-express-messages
/ .  It looks like IE sets the printer options for OE. He's 
setting page
margins is Internet explorer. I wasn't aware of that myself.

I think the bug originated in IE7 though.  Are you trying to be 
the last
person on the planet to run IE6?  Maybe MS will give you some 
sort of award.
Sort of like Volvo awarding people who get 500,000 miles out of 
their cars.
;-)

Seriously though, I think you are out of luck on this one.  You 
might try
playing with the margin settings in IE6 and see if it has any 
effect.

Hey Ben.  IE6 & OE6 (default XP SP3) but I don't see any
"Shrink to fit" option anywhere.

Hi Clint,

I can't remember what you are running. Still IE7 and OE 5.5?  I
found this
in the MS knowledge base.  Apparently not printing the header
was a bug for
a while if you chose "shrink to fit". If you haven't updated
maybe it's
still a bug. ;-)

I thought you may have been on to something there, but it does
the exact same thing.
