I don't remember the hot keys any more. I think that was when I was using Outlook Express. I use Office Outlook now. When viewing in plain text, you can click right above the headers to change to HTML.

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). -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com http://Computer-Hardware-Sales-Consumer-Electronics-Sales.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale E. Heltzer" 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?
