The "history", as you call it, is just data in the message body. Outlook
neither knows nor cares that that data may have been included in prior
messages. Mail simply doesn't have "history".

not really/not easily. if html format, you can use other actions, view in
browser and print using the (better) print capabilities of IE. otherwise,
try outlookprinter.com or blueprint http://www.savvisoft.com/ or print to a
digital format (such as pdf) and print that.

Helena,

By history, do you mean that you see/print where the email originated,
how its encoded, message ID number, etc? That would be the "header". I
use Thunderbird as an email client, and when I have View/Headers/All
selected, I print all that useless information. If I have
View/Headers/Normal, it doesn't print. All I get is the sender, sendee,
subject and body of the email. If this is what you mean, then someone
should be able to give you a simple solution.

There is no history. The e-mail is whatever the sender gave you. If
they quoted prior e-mails then their NEW e-mail contains whatever
content that they chose to include. It is not a history. It is
whatever the sender chose to include, and may not even be from prior
e-mails for the same discussion. Outlook cannot distinguish between
what you call "history" and whatever the sender put in the e-mail.

I suppose you could send yourself a copy of the e-mail but after you
edit out the "history" that you do not want included, and then print
that new e-mail. Or you could open the e-mail (double-click to open
in its own window) and use the Edit Message menu to remove whatever
you don't want in the e-mail - but then when you save the changes you
lose everything else that the sender originally included. Of course,
nothing prevents you from copying and pasting (into another app) to
then print just what you pasted.

What you (and I before you) say is true, but Outlook 2007 DOES make an
effort at it. It seems able to detect included messages if Outlook's
top-posting conventions are followed. Nonetheless, it's still not
"history".

All email clients mark (aka "quote") prior content in some manner so you can
tell the new content from the old. To many people, "old" is "history"...
apparently not to either of you.

The upcoming version of Blueprint for Outlook will allow you to print the latest response in a message 'history'.

As already stated, there is no real history in the message (just message body content). Blueprint will attempt to automatically detect the latest response in the same way Outlook 2007 does.

This version has not been released yet, but a Beta version is available on request by emailing Blueprint Support - .

If you would like more information, please visit http://www.savvisoft.com.
