We have a related but different problem. We are working with a group
to high school librarians that are experiementing with scanned images
for ILL purposes. They are using Netscape mail to send the images
between libraries. Frequently the page images are much larger than the
screen and Netscape Mail will not format the images to fit on a single
page. Consequently, the images are not printable from Mail. Is there a
way of using Netscape Mail and printing the images directly from Mail?

These are the solutions we've come up with & all have reasons for us
to dislike them. Some are impossible:

1. Exporting the images to a file & printing with another program.
2. Viewing in Navigator and printing. Apparently Navigator will only
print using screen resolution which makes for pretty poor copy. 
3. Switching e-mail programs. 
4. Switching browsers.

Most libraries in this group are using Netscape 3.0, some 2x. All
are Windows, although not all are Win95. 

Thanks for any help.
