printing ability of web pages disappeared??

I frequently "save" cragislist pages for future use (ie hit "save as" from IE 8 pulldown menu.

The comput no longer saves page(s) as a readbale document--get gibberish.

4 "save as" options are offered..none print in understandable format.

Need to correct this--ability to save page(s) in fulkly readabale manner was lost??

thanx.

What happens when you try to save the page from PCmech and use the HTLM option? (it works fine for me)

How about the "Encoding" option when you do Save As? Mine is set to Western European (ISO)
