Standardize BROWSER and MAILER environment variables. __ FollowUp-2

[Steven Kucharzyk]

I would like also to point out that if I try to print an email that is
longer than (1) One Page it "Left Justifies" the remaining pages to the
point of loosing characters. I have adjusted both the browser
magnification and the printer scale to no avail ... first page prints
correct and the rest not. 

I only found this out today, when attempting to make copies for mailing
to the IG over issues I have with the VA facility, so I can show the
correspondence that we have had. Any suggestions would be Appreciated.
