Wassup home boiz

Can anyone help a non-techy person like me?

When you print off an email exchange, obviously its starts with the latest message at the top. This annoys me because if you want to follow a 'conversation' through, you have to start at the back.

Can you tweak the settings to print in reverse as it were, so the initial correspondance is printed first?

MS Outlook.

Put the paper into the printer the other way round.

Click on the "received" coulumn header at the top of your message list. The oldest will then appear first.

The problem you've got is that every time someone replies it appends the existing email to the bottom, so it's going to be a mess still no matter which way you sort it. You should be able to change it so when you reply it goes at the bottom (so the existing email is at the top) but that won't help you much either.

Whilst it won't help you there is a useful feature in Mac Mail, where it groups up related emails and then hides the repeated content - so each email only shows the reply and not the rest of the email. Might find something similar in another Windows email client, not aware of Outlook doing anything similar.

Edit each individual email with spacing so it fills exactly one page then print as normal.  All you need to do then is sort the pages in reverse order and they will be exactly how you want them.

Shirley the whole point of email is that you don't need to print it.

Long shot, worth a try.

When you go to print you can set a page range.

For example this is a 10 page email.

Instead of printing pages 1 - 10 print pages 10 - 1?

Again, just a thought.

Select reverse printing in printing properties. It won't be perfect though
