Does anyone know why Outlook Express doesn't give this option?

 

Mine does. I use OE 6.

 

Thanks. Embarrassed to ask but how do I find which OE version I have and how do I update? I've updated in the past but my mind seems to have seized up....

 

Under the "Help" menu, click on "About Microsoft Outlook Express".

 

Even more embarrassed now But thanks. I have OE 6. Have discovered that I can print a draft message before I double click and open but as soon as I open message the print option disappears. Guess I can make do but seems odd.

 

true....I never noticed that. Sorry if I had mislead you before. But the thing that matters is that you can print, I wouldn't waste anytime looking for why you can't print when you open the draft message.

 

You have been helpful - guess it's that Malta sunshine As you say I can print off now so I have learnt something. Saves cutting and pasting. thanks david

 

Anytime David!
