Maybe this came up earlier? Just a thought. Is it possible to alter this behaviour using macros in a print template? -- Best regards, MFPAmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Thomas, Thanks for the reply. TF> Just a guess: Have you checked the margins at Message / Print Setup / TF> General?

Further tests - if I forward the email then the fault remains, but if I send it to another email client (Pegasus or OE) then it prints correctly. Copy/paste to another text editor also prints correctly. It does appear to be something with TheBat at this stage of the tests. I can forward part of the email to the list if that would help (data protection means I can't forward the whole thing).

Printing problem with TheBAT! 2.12
Hi all, Having scanned thru the list messages in the archive, I couldn't find a solution to the following, so I hope someone here can help. I've just moved a car hire firm over to using TB from OE, and that has gone fine, however they receive on a regular basis emails from another firm giving car hire details, in the following format: Name : x y Category : vvwx Etc,etc for 2 pages worth of fields. These emails display in TB in the correct format - the problem comes with printing. If you print the email from the main screen, or open the email and print it from there, the print format looks like this: Name :x y Category : vvwx However, if you pretend to "reply" to the email, and print it from that screen, then the email prints exactly as displayed on screen - and most importantly, this is how it is meant to be printed. (Note that, with the above, if you have more than one word after the colon on a line, it tends to print the first word on the same line and then the rest on a second line, whereas if there is only one word as the post-colon word, it tends to get put on the next line). Having played with the various settings available to me, I've found no way to prevent this behaviour - your thoughts would be appreciated! (Oh, and it's printer independant - it happens on my Brother HL5150D, and their HP multi-function thing).
