I purhcased a new machine with Vista and I have a desktop that I purchased
last year that has Vista. They both do exactly the same strange behavior.

When I have IE open and the E-mail program open, and E-mail is in the
foreground, I print an e-mail and immediately, IE pops to the foreground and
I have to click the Mail tab on the start takbar to bring my e-mail back to
the foreground.

Any idea why this happens and how to make it stop?

Thanks in advance.

Bill

Your e-mail app uses the IE print functions (html). Hit alt-tab to return.
If you read in 'Plain Text' it won't do that. Most good email apps let you
read that way in their Options.

Will reading in plain text cause any HTML content to not be displayed?

Is there any other fix available? XP never did this.

Thanks again
