Printing an email?

i have a confirmation for a holiday ive booked as an email,its an E-ticket so the email is the ticket(so to speak)........i use yahoo as my email server.......when i try and print the email i get all the inbox,drafts,sent folders printing on the left hand side of the email and its missing off the important confirmation numbers on the right hand side because there isnt enough room on the paper......is there a way i can just print the contents of the email and not the whole screen......i have tried copying the info by highlighting it but have nowhere to paste it to,wordpad doesnt work,paint doesnt work......any suggestion please?

    highlight the information you wish to print click on file>print and tick the box that says Selection and then print. It will print off only what you have highlighted

  • You could 'print screen' and paste it into word-pad.
    I suspect someone will have a better solution for you though...

    If the worst had come to the worst, you could have tried printing it in Landscape orientation...

    It's often the easiest thing with email printing to highlight the required text, copy the highlighting, then paste that into your word processing application. That way you retain ownership of the way it looks, wont lose anything at the sides, and can get rid of those advertising slogans that the webmail providers think we should have.

    The only disadvantage is that it ceases to look like an email any longer, which can sometimes throw someone who expects to see all the above defects...
