A label in the print dialog box of Outlook 2007 threw me off.
Does this mean, if I choose a printer other than my default, the attachments would not print? Or would they just not print on the printer I selected?
And without nitpicking - a good UX designer should- the spacing and allignement between the checkbox and the label does not conform to the Microsoft standard user interface guidelines.

Check this out- open the print dialog box from Word 2007. Click on the Print "Options"...It opens the Word Options dialog box...wonder how MS missed that!!
Swati, it is opening to Printing Options. Not the best usability, but definitely not a functional bug
Maybe not a functional bug, but definitely bad user experience. I had to look at the options 3 times, thinking what the hell is Sunil talking about, why is it showing me display options whilst i'm printing, before I finally noticed that I am actually seeing print options.
2 problems with the options:
- when you click on options, you would expect a dialog similar to the print dialog or the preferences dialog, instead you get a jazzy Word style dialog. Inconsistency problem here.
- Say you are ok with the inconsistency, they've seemed to have overloaded display and print options without making it clear. The first 2 tabs are Page display and Formatting marks on the screen. I looked at these 2 and ignored the thrid tab thinking its another display option and has nothing to do with printing. The tab itself is called Display. No wonder I was confused!!
