Sue,

I have to respectfully disagree and say that this logic is even less
acceptable than the limitation. The fact is that printing is a function
inside the email program and regardless of the need to go paperless, the
function cannot be eliminated as some emails have legal and business
implications and must be printed. It is indeed a document-centric
application, just not the same way as say Word.

Not providing a better print option would be more of a flaw in the
programming model and lack of attention to details, not a matter of not being
necessary and therefore done poorly. They just got lazy as usual and decided
they know better what the user wants.

thanks for your input.
