I'm not trying to bet on the odds, nor encourage the use of the preview
pane. But you do know that not many viruses are distributed that way-- and
the common blind and low vision practice of setting the mail program to
receive everything in plain text is the best precaution in the world. No,
it doesn't prevent active links from working, as some people believe, I
don't know why.

Because it opens a message automatically and this could potentially install
