August 25, 200817 yr I would like to print longer e-mails and all the old blabla from the beginning of that e-mail thread is by now no longer relevant resp. printed at an earlier stage. Outlook does not have to seem a feature where I can say print pages 1,2,.....etc or did I just not find it??

I've never found a way to do that directly from Outlook either. My workaround is to first "print" it as a .pdf and then print the pages of the .pdf that I want.

I can't speak for Outlook, but in Outlook Express the only way to print what you want is by selection. Select all the text you want to print, click print, click Selection, click Apply and finally click print. It works for me in OE but DON'T forget to click "Apply" otherwise it will print the entire mail. opalhort
August 29, 200817 yr Author nope...Outlook does not seem to have this feature. Really sad, I also hate those second pages that contain nothing but the last line of an e-mail signature...
August 29, 200817 yr It appears you are right. I just tried Outlook for the first time and the only way to print selective portions of an e-mail appears to be: select what you want to print and then copy and paste it into any program i.e. Word / notepad etc. and then print it from there. Since Outlook is part of Office there may be a global setting somewhere which you can modify. Search the M$ knowladge data base. opalhort
August 30, 200817 yr Just did a google for selective email printing in outlook and found quite a bit of software that would solve your problem, but none of the software I found is free. Here are two links that may be of interest to you: Link1 and Link2 opalhort

I have found this an annoyance of M$ Outlook for many years. Another workaround is in version 2007 Outlook (not sure if applies to older versions as I don't use them) you can double click on message to open it in a full message window, select other action, view in browser and print whatever pages you like from Internet Explorer. Of course being M$haft the browser only defaults to IE not Firefox which all sensible PC operators might use and also you loose the first bit of header email info, but what do you expect from M$ who have been selling this email crap for over a decade?
