Thanks for pointing this out Rick. Over the last days I actually came to agree with Winston in the html printing request. This is how I came to a change: A lot of times when I print I like to print to PDF so that I have a copy of something that is platform independent. Printing with no dialog box does not allow this. If attempting to print from the html rendering produced a message "printing from this screen is not possible at this time" I think that would be acceptable. It is the behavior that ACTS like a normal printing process is going on when it actually isn't that seems to be bothersome. As far as having the headers, I don't see them when the html is rendered so I'm not sure how they could be printed. It is true that if everyone ceased using html or used properly formatted html with its text component we wouldn't have this problem.. but I think that not happening is why CTM was willing to using the Safari rendering engine in the first place to display this type of mail. Not that I'm going to stop using PowerMail, I've tried it and couldn't stand not using it... -- Barbara Needham
