Adjusting print size of e-mails

Since installing XP, when I print out e-mails from Outlook Express (6), the font size is tiny and I cannot find a way to adjust this on OE. Any ideas?

See if using the steps in the MS Knowledge Base article, Large or Small Font Printing Message from Outlook Express fixes things.

Thanks. That link was very clear and I followed its instructions to the letter but it didn't change the fact that the print font comes out very small. I have even changed the read size to Larger, and that too had no effect. I have also looked in vain for some reference to print size in my HP OfficeJet G85 printer software; there is none. Any other ideas?

A quick workaround is to copy the message text and paste it into a word processor such as Word, where it can be easily edited/resized etc.

Or change your email program.

for step-by step instructions on installation/configuration.

There's an F.A.Q. page and a forum too.
