    Outlook Express 6 printing in small font if attachments
    When trying to print certain emails from Outlook Express 6 on a PC running Windows XP SP2 and IE 7.0 the text prints out very small. The emails effected are ones with attachments, but not all attachment emails are effected.

    I have already tried checking that the font sizes in both and OE are set to Medium and this has made no difference.

    Any ideas?

    The printing of email in Outlook Express is controlled by the font size in Internet Explorer... how stupid is that?

    Open up IE, press CTRL + (plus) to raise the onscreen font (or VIEW > TEXT SIZE)

    Try printing again.

    Thanks JB but I have already tried this, and tried changing the settings, restarting Windows and then changing back to the Medium font which should be normal print and none of it makes a difference.

    According to the MS website the fix for this problem was released into Service Pack 3. You are on SP2, so activating the SP3 for XP may solve it for you... along with about 2000 other problems.
