[Avodah] Printing email to read on Shabbos

[Micha Berger]

Someone posed an interesting question on scjm...

They asked whether it is permissable to print up one's email on Friday
in order to read it on Shabbos. The majority of the post showed real
ignorance of hilkhos Shabbos or even the concept of melakhah, but
something he said along the way intrigued me. Converting it to more
informed language, the question becomes:

Is one permitted to read discussion group email on Shabbos? Or, is it a
problem of hakhanah, since one will plan replies to be typed after
Shabbos?

And would it make a difference if the group is Avodah or Areivim?

Tir'u baTov!
