Default can't print only what I've SELECTED

Why is it that on some emails that I've sent or received I can't print just
what I've "selected"?

I go to FILE/PRINT and SELECTION is grayed out.

So far, the only emails I've noticed which have the problem are some that
involve a reply, and all are emails to the same particular person.

Did you Highlight the selection and then choose Print | Selection?

If you have, your last note that all are emails to the same particular
person may be a clue.

Try highlighting the selection you wan and Copy. Open a new message window
and Paste. Ctrl+F3 will save a copy to Drafts.

Go to Drafts and while viewing in the Preview Pane, see if you can print
from there.

Bruce,

Did you Highlight the selection and then choose Print | Selection?


Yes.

may be a clue.


Yeah, but I can't figure what.

Try highlighting the selection you wan and Copy.


Well sure, I could always Forward (since I want the header), copy & paste it
into Word and print. But what would make OE gray out the Print | Selection?

Sounds like this is the problem, but how can they involve a reply if you
haven't replied? If you click Reply to a message and then want to print it,
Print will be grayed out.

Upon further research, the problem is not restricted to one person's email,
nor only replies. Instead, it has something to do with images in the email.

Apparently, certain images in the text body prevent the Print | Selection
from functioning. So far, this has been found with both GIF and JPG images.
However, not all messages with an image have the problem!?
