Margins in e-mail messages

Asked by Ingrid Nilsson

Hi,

I am a fairly new user of Evolution in Ubuntu and am very satisfied with the system - but for one thing. It happens that I wish to keep e-mails in a file but the very narrow left margin does not allow me to punch holes without spoiling the text. I have tried to adjust the margins of both outgoing and incoming e-mails (and searched "everywhere"), but have not found the place to do this.

Please tell me where to adjust e-mail margins!

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for your help. After several efforts I have managed to set my own custom printer size. It took me time because of my inability to understand the "data technology language" in English. ( In would have been difficult for me even if the instructions were written in Swedish!)

I am very glad that I have now learnt about setting custom printer sizes. Thank you very, very much!

Best regards,
