"ctrl H" I mentioned below did something interesting, it 
grouped emails by subject, creating a tree.

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).

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.
