Wrong font size when printing in IE6.

I have a stange problem when printing emails in OE6.

When I print the headers (To, From, cc:, date, subject) are printed in a small size font (8 or 10), but the rest of the body of the email (the message itself) has a font size of 16 or so. This is causing me to waste a lot of paper when printing as a 'normal' email stretches to more than one page.

I have checked all the options in OE, as well as the Properties for the Printer, and can find nothing to solve this little problem.

All other applications are printing fine, the only one I have trouble with is OE6.

Any ideas?

Sorry in the post subject I put IE6.

As the email tells you the problem us with Outlook Express 6.

Sorry. FFS (Fast Fingers Syndrome).

CRLM....Did you ever get a reply to this problem? I have encountered the same thing and have tried "everything" I can think of to change the font to no avail. Any info you might be able to pass along would be helpful.

This was a while ago now!

If I can remeber rightly I opened Internet Explorer, clicked on View, Text Size and set it to Medium.

My emails then printed okay.

It appears the IE and OE are connectd in terms of both text sizes and paper sizes and layouts I have found,

I hope this helps.

I thought I tried that, but I will give it another shot. Thanks so much for the input.

No go....all it did was change the way the font looked on screen...still printed the same.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
 
I also have this problem, but have not found a solution - any other ideas please?
