Without knowing which email program you are using the simplest way would be to copy and paste the text into Word and then increase the font size there - then print

Click on 'View' in the Menu Bar at the top of the page. In the drop down menu, select 'Text Size' and just increase the size that is shown.

Have you tried increasing the size of the font by holding down Ctrl and using the wheel on your mouse to make it bigger, before you print it?
My mouse wheel needs to be rolled away from me, yours might be the opposite! Trial and error!
Totally non technical Kooky.

Try highlighting the text and then using Ctrl C to copy it.  This usually works when the other methods won't.

Hi

Does the email have an attachment? There is a problem if you have IE7 and your email is Outlook Express.  This occurs if the attachment is large such as a photo or spread sheet. If this is the case then save the attachment and then forward the email to yourself without the attachment. you should then be able to print ok
