About previewing messages in Outlook Express without opening them?

Question

How do you go about setting that. A friend wants it for his machine and I can't find the settings in mine to do that. Both have XP

Answer 1

On the top menu bar of Outlook Express, click on Tools, then Options, and then on the READ tab. In the line that says, "Automatically download message when viewing in the preview pane", uncheck the box next to it. That way you'll see the basic info about the e-mail, but you'll have to double-click on it to actually open it.
