You could turn off HTML formatting, view messages in plaint
text format only. Then if something is sent to you in HTML
format you can hit a key and set (OE) back to HTML format
viewing. I don't recall what that key is now, Jeff knows. I
just tried ctrl + H and screwed mine up. So that ain't it.
LOL.
I get hundreds of emails a day and I've always used the preview
pane, and I never gotten any malware infections from emails
even though I RECEIVE them with malware in them all the time.
KIS7 blocks them all, KAV before that. I've always used two
firewalls and AV software both updated all the time. That's a
hardware router FireWall, Sygate Pro software FW and now KIS7
which is both AV and a FW. IE and OE are also max'd out to
their limit for security settings. (KIS is Kaspersky Internet
Security 7 and KAV is Kaspersky AntiVirus).

Long ago, it was recommended to turn off the Preview Pane in MS
Outlook,
because this was a point of access for bad guys to get malware
on your
computer.
Wwwwith a reasonably updated firewall/antivirus system, is it
still
better to have Preview turned off?
Thanks.
