Indian e-visa: Is all I need a print out of the email?
I recently applied for the Indian e-visa. On the website it said that they would send me the e-visa by email on approval.
I received an email approving my application.
Do I only need to print out this email? It looks pretty informal for me.
Because it said by email, I expected something like an attachment PDF with photograph and maybe coat of arms printed on it or likewise.
Can anybody help?

Correct, this is all I had when I entered India in June.
We had to approach the counter, present that, our insurance documents, fill in a couple of forms about our first destination and the usual 'what are your plans?' type questions, and that was it. Took about 5 minutes.

Yes, this is the document you need. I only printed it last moment before departure as I figured a copy on my phone would do - this is NOT the case.
In addition to the existing answers I would like to warn you not to print out a Gmail page (including the usual Gmail header) as the Stewardess in Vienna got confused enough about this to reject it until I further insisted. Better not to get these people confused, as it tends to lead to anger, which leads to the dark side.
Upon arrival in Mumbai the e-Tourist visa customs desk was on the left before the main immigration hall, which at the time was deserted with more officials than passengers. They needed the copy and our passports, and the most elaborate biometric data collection ceremony I've been subjected to so far.
