Can we print out PM's
« on: Friday 05 November 04 00:12 GMT (UK) »
Can we print out PM's?  Since the site moved I now cannot read the PM's on my private email, which I could print out if needed for purposes of research.

Su,

We used to send out of a copy of each Personal Message in the email notification, but we were getting so many people replying to the emails (to us!) rather than by Personal Message back to the person that sent the message, we decided to change things a little.

You should be able to highlight the text of a personal message and under File.. click Print.... the Print Selection I believe.

We are looking at a way to print individual personal messages by adding a Print Button (thanks to JillJ for this suggestion)

Hi Trystan
Where does it say FILE ?  I can't find one anywhere.
I just highlighted the text right clicked and clicked print, and all that came out was the list of emails in my box.

PS you know what I'm like, this will give you a clue ???

On your TOOLBAR! if you have'nt got one it might be hidden.....

Right at the top of your Browser ( underneath the blue bit) you should have File, Edit, View,Favorites,Tools and HELP <s>

It WORKED...IT WORKED.... the only thing is ... it printed them all up !!!  I only wanted one.  Highlighted that, and the highlight must have gone all the way down my PM's.  Never mind.  It WORKED

Thank you both.  Hurry up and get the print button on Trystan, it will make life (for me) much easier  ;D ;D ;D

what you could have done was highlight the msg you wanted to print.......right click and copy then open Word or Notepad right click and paste.......then print that.  That was you'll only print out what you want.
