Printing Windows Mail messages

When I have two applications open, such as Windows Mail and Internet
Explorer, I sometimes want to print an email message. When I click the Print
icon, the Print box comes up. Then when I click the Print button to print
the message, it prints OK, but Windows Vista switches the applications, and I
am in IE. I just have to click back on Windows Mail in the task bar to get
back into it, but it is irritating. Does anyone know what I can do about
this?

Thanks,

I have not seen this behaviour, but please note that WM uses the IE print
engine.

Print settings for margins and printed text size in WM are set at IE>file
menu>page setup.

I also have this problem and it is very annoying. Any new ideas on this
problem?

And I don't have any idea what IE margins have to do with this issue.

BTW after printing it always switches the active window to the one active
previous to Windows Mail.

thanks

That was a point of supplementary information, (an example), the fact that
WM uses the IE print engine was my main point.

I have this problem too! I couldn't find anything in the settings that made
it do that. It sure is irritating!
