I get html chars printed from most emails (not all). Some print okay, but
most print the html control chars.

Tried to look in OE Help for settings, or other hint as to problem with
html chars being printed, but they show up there as well. I select a help
item, it displays, but has the html control chars displayed as well.

Reinstalled printer, no improvement.

Can print from MS WORD and other apps with no problem.

Help!
(please)
:-)



I posted this earlier from Al's machine -- then subsequently found the
problem.
In "Internet Options" the default browser was not set. I set IE (the only
browser he has on that system) as the default browser, and the html
character print/display problem went away. No idea why, but there it is.
