Question

some time ago I must have done something wrong and cannot correct it. When want to print email text, to use it later on as an attachment to my correspondence, it comes out in very small print, that nobody would bother to read it. The Yahoo help does not have the answer to such problem and there is nobody physically to be contacted from Yahoo to establish if there is an error on my or their side. The email looks properly until I got it on paper. Also sometimes the email from others are very extended, like whole message in 2-3 lines so cannot see the end until moving along the text. And I do not know the reasons nor cure to it.

Yes, not much I can add to previous answers. This is happening because you are using HTML email and your letter it will come built in with hidden tags to determine the size of the type and so the best thing to do is to dump it into a word pad or whatever and print it from there.

But also, Yahoo email is a pretty lousy client to be using. I could go on and on about it's shortcomings, but one you should know about is that since it is using a frame to view you mail in, if someone sends you something that has the wrong word wrap tags, then Yahoo may "scrunch" it to fit inside the frame, which may be what you are seeing

If this is the case, even if you dump it into a word editor, it may not help. You can try increasing the resolution as in going up to view, reduce text size, before you copy it. Or you can  forward your email to a better client, like Outlook, which is what I would do

Or one last thing you can try, is go to your browser tool bar to view/page style/none

The best thing you can do to print out emails is just to copy the text into a word processor, and then print. The reason is because even though the layout you see is optimized for reading on screen, because the words are warped (Try pasting a lot of text into Notepad without word wrap on), it might not be optimized for printing. My 2 cents:D

if it is just text, then you can copy it into a word program then print it
