[thelist] How can I generate a printable page froma any web page (CSS, ASP?) Also - An Idea

[J. Blanchard]

----problem needing solution----
OK fellow gurus, one of the execs in my office just walked in and asked, "Can anyone visiting our site print any page on the site without all of those annoying graphics?" Is there a way to do this witout having to create "printer-friendly" pages? I have searched but cannot find a how-to model for this and I have a lot of other stuff on my plate (especially the backend database redesign where some have not heard the phrase "fully qualified names" much less names that make any sense at all for tables/columns), therefore I am looking for a fairly rapid solution. 

I am in the process of completely redesigning a web site that was in the hands of a marketing department guy until it was decided that the company would hire a web professional. I have settled on HTML 4.01, CSS1, ASP2.0, and SQL Server 7.0 as the standards, so the answer needs to fit within those parameters if possible. 
----end problem----

----begin idea----
Now for the idea. There was discussion on thelist about a user database where we could look up fellow evolters (wouldn't it be nice to have a beer with those who are empathetic?) in our area. Perhaps find additional bodies/specialties for a particular project? Why don't we, evolters of the list, take advantage of the 'learning' environements set up at evolt to produce this database our ownselves? (Texas dipthong applied). That way we could pass along knowledge, access the data through a number of interfaces...you see where I am going with this? Anxious to read what you have to think of this idea.
----end idea---- 

----additional problem----
Does anyone know how to send really text/plain from MS Outlook? I encountered problems where I could not send to or reply to 'thelist' because of rejected text/html within what is supposedly a text/plain message. The header that Outlook actually sends out is a 'multipart' style of header.
----end additional problem, using another client for now----
Thanks in advance!
