but if it is only one email doesn't it make more sense to print it out then
to go through the trouble of producing it electronically. Is it the
information ie content the requester wants or is the native format.

These goes back to Ginny's comment that you need to comply with the law. If
the law doesn't specify the format in which the item is to be produced then
I believe it is up to the requester to specify the format. If they don't
specify the format then the decision is left up to the producer
