E-mails print small

I have a problem mentioned by others. I have OE6, IE6 and
Windows XP. Usually OE6 prints my e-mails in medium text
size as I have OE6's text size set to Medium. Then,
suddenly, OE6 starts printing received e-mails in smallest
text size. "GR" has mentioned a fix that "changing IE6
text size to Medium fixes the problem because IE6 controls
OE6's printing". This does work. However, this is a
nuisance as I like IE6 in smallest text size and have to
keep switching things. In addition, before the problem
occurs, which I have fixed by resoring to earlier dates,
OE6 prints medium even though IE6 is set to smallest text
size.

Does anyone have similar problems?

Does anyone know what triggers this error?

Does anyone know a fix that is more permanent that
constantly changing text sizes in the two programs.

Thanks for any assistance.
