How to Adjust Printer Margins and Orientation in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

Be it for reasons aesthetic or practical ("when I print an email, the beginning of each line is missing!"), changing the margins or page orientation used for printing in Windows Mail or Outlook Express can be a desirable goal. Unfortunately, that goal can also be frustrating and seemingly unattainable: there is no way to set printer margins in Windows Mail or Outlook Express.

Fortunately, that does not mean you cannot choose the margins you desire or switch from landscape to portrait mode. You just have to look and do it elsewhere.
