Coming from the "Message Impossible" Department, Lockergnomie David Stevens self destructs in five seconds. Even though we've entered the 'paperless' age, users still rely heavily on their printer. Some argue that it's easier to read text when it's not sitting on the screen. Call me a sucker for convenience; I'll put up with the pixels for now. For those who'd rather skim the day's headlines while offline, consider lumping 'em together before sending 'em to the printer. In Outlook Express, you may select one or more messages (using the mouse in conjunction with the CTRL and SHIFT keys). Got everything you want? Okay, now pull down the Message menu and the 'Combine and Decode' option should be ready to roll. Once applied, you'll be presented with a single window containing all of your previously selected messages. Instead of spooling dozens of documents to your printer, you need only send one.
