When i print an e-mail why do i get the whole page and not just the message?

If you just want to print some of the text in the email instead of the entire web page then do this: highlight the selected area that you want to print and then go to File at the top and click Print. When the print box comes up select where it says "Print Whole Document" and change it to "Print Selected Area" and then click print :) Hope that helps.

because you are printing the whole page you could copy and paster the message into a word document

what print button are you using? Are you hitting the print button on your browser or are you hitting the print button on your email providers button? Thats probably why if you are using IE as a port to your internet email

because your printer will print everything that is on the screen if you only want the message then 'copy and paste' the message into a new word document

It is so simple...when you go any where why do your hair follow you...because its your part. If you just want main part then copy paste in microsoft word. Then print.

This will happen because you are telling the computer to copy page. If you only want message then try these steps. 1 Hold mouse down over message to highlight. 2. right click on message and click copy 3. then print. or you could paste that to a word document, but then you might be wasting allot of paper. After you have copied the document bring up a word document page right click and paste. Hope that works.

qtblonde007 has it spot on! Just select the area you want to print and highlight it with you're Mouse. Then select Print from the menu>Print Selected Area and it will do it for you. It saves on Ink as well,..i do it all the time if i don't want the full text on the page. ;)

ur printer sucks lol. not in a serious mood today, ignore my answer.
