Re: Printing, Forwarding, and Saving Messages

 
Edited

Sharon,
?
I rarely print emails, but I found a very simple way to do it if you want to print from your group page. Normally you print emails from your email client, but who wants to save tens of thousands of archived posts ... that's what io is for, right? My solution, Use Firefox as your browser. Here is an example. I opened a post via my group's page. Using the Firefox browser's very top menu line, I clicked on File ! Print Preview. You will see this type of output, which is not pretty, but there's good news ... Firefox makes it easy to clean it up. See below.

Enabling the Simplify Page button will strip out the menu crud showing up on the left. This is a very nifty feature of Firefox and I have no idea if it is available in other browsers, but I would not be surprised. My version of Firefox is Quantum version 63.0, which is the very latest update. Even if you don't like Firefox, you can simply keep it around only for the times you want to print and use your regular browser for all else.

Thank you for responding. This allows people to download all the files in categories ¡ª messages, files, etc. I love this feature when I¡¯m doing research, but I¡¯m not sure I want anyone to be able to do that. And with an archive of 60,000 messages, almost no one wants to.

The need is to be able to print, save, or forward one message. Or even a group of messages as the result of a search. It appears that this is only available with copy and paste.
