The above discussion has an answer at the bottom which will fix your problem. However it also does not allow you to see HTML formatted emails as they were intended. So it is a catch 22 situation.

Like you say the problem is with IE7 and its HTML printing engine and how Outlook developers are being lazy by using an existing printing engine rather than develop there own. Some might say good business practice, others might sya typical Microsoft cutting corners. Me personally I deal with a lot of Law Firm clients and the Ability to print Header INformation is just as important as the actual email content.

“In Outlook, go to “Tools” => “options”; in the preferences tab, click “email options”.

Under message handling, check the box “Read all standard mail in plain text”

You now need to quit Outlook and start Outlook again, and printing will be fine.

I am confident that this will work – why – because it fixes the old problem with Outlook – when printing HTML mail, it did not print that it had an attachment – this causes it to print that information.

You should also be able to set the browser setting back to normal and to set your margins back to normal.

The only downside is that you will not get fancy fonts etc in the email printout.

Note that if you change the setting back, your emails will reappear in HTML format. Thus, this option affects viewing and chooses a different print engine. (You may have to move off the mail in the preview pane and then come back to it if the current email is one of them)”
