And these print links don't work.  Well... at least with hotmail due  
to the previously mentioned IFRAME issue.  Gmail doesn't use IFRAMEs  
and instead converts the HTML message into a series of DIVs that are  
individually formatted.  Of course it probably took a software  
engineer (or group of engineers) 6 months to develop this code, and  
they don't seem to be sharing it with others, so this is not a viable  
solution.

Yes, I am.
