Default Printing

Is there anyway to print an email directly from the main Outlook 2007 screen
and have the same Print Dialog facilities available that I have in other
Office components- particularly page range. Does anyone know of any 3rd
party products that address this deficiency.

I know I can open the email in a viewer, then open it in IE and print from
there - but that approach is not fit for purpose, because

I don't know the email subject - often the most important information!!,
I don't know who sent the email,
I don't know the date on which it was sent
I don't know to whom it was copied
I don't know what attachments the email contained

One of the things I print is sales orders, selling agents orders always
extend across 2 pages, the second page is always the same. So I just want
to print the first page. I print the sales orders on letterhead stationery
so it's expensive to print two pages, my printer does not print double
sided. Yes I know I can print just the odd pages - but if an order extends
over 3 pages - I want to print pages 1 & 2 - the odd pages only "solution"
only works for small orders!

I actually find it absolutely amazing that Outlook does not use the standard
Windows Print Dialogs. Sure have a Memo and a List (Table) print, but keep
them separate and make sure they converge on the standard print dialogue to
offer page range, number of copies etc, features - like all the other
software on my system.!!

I left to wonder what happened to the WYSIWG principle.
