Why sometimes get "Memo Style" when printing email??

[harveywaz]

In both Outlook 2000 and newly installed 2007, when printing an email,
sometimes the print window will come up in "Memo Style", which only allows me
to print All, Odd, or Even pages. Usually I just want to print a selection,
or Page 1. I haven't seen any rhyme or reason as to what kind of email this
happens, and it only happens maybe 1 in 5 times seemingly at random. How do
I stop this from happening? I've asked this question on several forums and
never even got a response! Can someone here help? I'm printing to a
hpdeskjet 920c, (shouldn't have anything to do with problem), using XP,
Office 2007.

Outlook 2007 always uses the Memo style when printing.
Previous versions of Outlook switched to the Internet Explorer print dialog
for HTML formatted emails.

If you like that printer dialog better, then you can opt to open the message
in a browser first (even Firefox if you want to).

This trouble was in earlier versions of Outlook aswell. This opening a
browser is not a good answer. You might aswell cut and paste into Word. Why
doesn't Microsoft sort this simple issue out ????

Can I please also add my voice here? This is a crazy issue with MS Outlook.
In this age of trying to conserve resources, to have a program which prints
a large number of useless pages without any ability to change it is
absolutely unacceptable. MS please do something about this!
