Lots of people don't like using the preview pane but I love it. From within
the message list, if you have "Preview pane" checked under the view menu,
simply tab and start a say all and you're right in the message. Then
shift+tab back to the list of messages, or even hit delete right away and
you're immediately moved to the next message. Works great, and if you're
set to read all messages in plain text I shouldn't think it would be
insecure.

Yeah, I wish that the delete key on the num pad worked while a message is
opened, but it doesn't. I have to escape the message in Outlook first to
use that keystroke. While I'm in the message, I have to hit Control D to
delete it and then I am automatically moved to the next message which is
immediately opened for me and ready to be read. If the delete key on the
num pad worked in an open message, that would help a lot. But it's just not
to be... not in Outlook Xp or 2003.

Insert down arrow to read all. Delete key next to insert key to delete.
Escape to drop the message. I rarely use the numpad except for like alt
control 5 to read column and row headings for a figure in a table.

Subject: Num pad alternatives
Hi. I use the num pad quite frequently to read documents, E-mail, and the Internet. It is quite handy. However, often it can be cumbersome to jump back and forth from the num pad to the left, back to the rest of the keyboard.
For example, in Outlook while in a message, I press Insert Num pad 2 to read all. Then I have to move my right hand all the way over so I can do a Control Comma or period to move on to the next message or Control D to delete the message. Back and forth, back and forth. It gets rather old as you can imagine.
My question is are their keystrokes that I'm not aware of that I could use that are not on the num pad for these particular circumstances, such as a read all, for example? There are times it would be much simpler to keep my hands in the typing position. The less jumping around I do the better. Thanks.
