Printing Drafts in Vista Mail (or Not)

[John Lane]

I found that if a message in the Sent, Inbox or Deleted folder is moved to
the Draft folder it can be printed. However, if a "Created" message is Saved
to the Draft folder it can't be printed - the "Print" menu drop down is
grayed out. Clicking Properties says the message is "Under Composition" -
apparently when in this mode the note can't be printed.

Do you have Preview Pane enabled, View>Layout, it should then print from
Drafts and the other folders.

If you prefer Preview Pane off normally, then add the Preview button to the
top toolbar for ease of switching view.
