Email printing with Backgound image

 



                  when you send somebody a wonderful email using good stationery, they can see the glory on the screen, but if they want to print it, the background image is gone and much of the email's grace with it. What can you do?

            If the recipient uses Windows live mail, there is a way to make it print background images. Windows live mail use the print settings of Internet Explorer, and Internet Explorer does not print background images by default because they usually waste a lot of ink while making the printout hard to read. This default can be changed (if only to print an email), though.
