When printing emails in Outlook 2003, how to omit headers?

Whenever I print an email in Outlook 2003, it prints at the top:

My Name

From

Sent

To

Cc

Subject

etc.

How do omit all that junk and just output the body of the message?

I believe print styles can be used to change how your emails are printed

Edit

If that doesn't work for you, follow the instructions here. It gives you a few methods for doing so. The "Remove headers from the message form" is probably the most integrated method, but will change how you see emails when you jsut view them.

1I've tried this - there is no option to remove the email headers. In the "Format" tab, there Options pane is blank. The only thing I can edit are fonts, paper margins, and page headers (as opposed to email headers). – frankadelic – 2010-02-08T17:55:55.247

1The instructions from your second link were helpful. Seems like my best option is to save as RTF and then print from Word. – frankadelic – 2010-02-23T20:52:08.227

Glad it helped you. It would better if outlook had better printing options... – Dan McGrath – 2010-02-23T21:11:43.320

Dan McG is right.

In Outlook 2003, select File > Page Setup > Define Print Styles. You can make a copy of the default "Memo Style" there (which is the default style used for emails) and edit your copy to remove whichever headers and footers you don't want to see.

See comment above - this doesn't permit me to remove the message headers. – frankadelic – 2010-02-08T20:48:04.487
