How to print an email so that you can read it

Filed under: Computing Tips - Nov 06 2016

If you access your email via a web browser and use email services such as Yahoo Mail, Outlook Mail, Gmail or AOL Mail, you may have noticed that printing an email may include ads and a listing of your mailbox folders. If so, here’s how to print an email so that you can read it – which includes just the body of the email without extra stuff surrounding the message:

Along the horizontal list of actions directly above the email message and to the right of “Reply”, “Forward”, etc., look for “More” or 3 dots ““, the choose “Print”. Gmail users should look for a printer icon label “Print all”. When clicking “Print” or “Print all” as explained above, a new window should pop up with a preview displaying just the body of the email message. If a Windows doesn’t pop up, you may need to disable your browser’s pop up blocker for that website. You can then continue to follow the instructions on your screen to begin printing.
