In thunderbird, to simply increase or decrease the text size when reading emails ... CTRL + + increases.

In thunderbird, there is a setting for the minimum size of text in emails. Do the following... 1. From the top menu select *Tools* > *Options* 2. Select '*Advanced*' (at the right of 'Default font') 3. Choose a '*Minimum font size*' for the character set you are using. You can choose a different minimum font size for each character set. This will set the text in emails to be no smaller than what you can read. Note: depending on the thunderbird version you are using, the 'Tool > Options' may be 'Edit > Preferences' On 22/12/11 22:36, Nancy Tollefson wrote: > Hi, I have an email, I'd like to print out.

Yes, I agree with Les. Thunderbird is a good mail application and should not be ignored. I do want to caution that Outlook is NOT that much like Outlook EXPRESS which people have used in the past. Why Microsoft decided to drop the free program is beyond me, but it did, and people will have to look for alternatives.

Use Thunderbird from Mozilla. It's a good application, and it's free. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Installation is real easy too.

You can get Outlook as a stand alone, apparently, but it isn't free by any means.

I think Bobbie has a clever, sure-fire solution. The "forward' puts the e-mail into "compose" so that one can change the print size to any size one wants. And delete anything out that one wants.
