[mso] How do I handle Outlook2000 email pre-view panes

I just upgraded from Win95 and Outlook98 to Win2000 and the Outlook that is
in Office 2000. Most things operate in a familiar way. Some don't.

I have noticed that when processing mail from some subfolders in my inbox, a
preview pane shows. I have heard that this is insecure. On the VIEW menu I
can select and toggle preview pane and auto preview. What I have been doing
is turning off (via the VIEW menu) preview pane whenever it shows up. I
always have auto-preview turned off.  Am I safe, or am I already compromised
when the preview pane shows up? If I am compromised by the preview pane, how
do I ensure that it is always off?

TIA Jim Chapman
