Hey Elise...I just found another one...in that same box, there's another check box that says "Mark item as read when selection changes"...try unchecking that one and see if that fixes it. Sorry...I'm guessing cuz I don't use Preview Pane...so I don't really mess with any of those settings...but maybe this is it? Linda F.

Is it in this location: Tools-Options-Other-Advanced (under Preview pane)? If so, she has that one set up correctly -- the box labeled "mark messages as read in preview window" is unchecked. It's as if there is a glitch in this client's Outlook -- I ran a Detect and Repair but no dice. Is there anywhere else it could be?
