      Description:
      Problem
      If you use File > Print to print an external message on the web that was sent to your Lotus Notes client, the Print windows open as follows:

      -- For internal mail, the Notes Print dialog displays.
      -- For external mail, only the Microsoft Windows Print dialog displays.
      -- Opening the mail within Notes opens the Notes Print dialog.

      This does not occur with all external mail.

      Cause
      In printing Internet email, Lotus Notes converts the content as a single HTML stream for the browser control to print. The browser will own the print job and the default Windows based Print window is displayed for printing.

      Resolving the problem

      To let Lotus Notes handle the print for Internet mail, use the follwing notes.ini parameter:

      BrowserRenderPrintNotes=1.

      Notes 8 uses Internet Explorer to render MIME emails.
      This comes with benefits of better rendering but some emails can take longer to render. There are are some ini variables that control this behavior.

      The ini variables in place are
      BrowserRenderDisable=1 Don't use the feature at all
      BrowserRenderNoFilter=1 Don't run the mail through the active content filter (filters possible security problems from IE issues). Turning off the active content filter may help it run faster.
      BrowserRenderPrintNotes=1 When printing from the document, use the Notes rendering and not the browser's

      It can also be turned off by deleting the $BrowserRender item on the Memo form in the mail template.

      Also noted on the call: This feature works on the basic client with a template refresh to the perweb.nsf database.
