Okay, I am not sure if I am seeing the right thing when trying to stop the preview pane from showing. In fact, I think that it is not the correct item. While in the list of messages, or in box, I did alt+t for tools, O for options, and ctrl+tab to the read page. When I tabbed through that, the only thing that I could find which referred to the preview pane was: automatically download message when viewing in the preview pane. I unchecked this, hit apply and then okay. But it hasn't changed my preview pane. Was I in the wrong place?
