If you look in the archives of the yahoo list where this
list was before... I asked about this when I got my new
computer around xmas time because I wanted to start with
outlook and keep my old posts in oe... however I had to swap
back because outlook will open preview in every folder and I
have a LOT... in oe it will globally close...

in discussion Linda said that something must be corrupted
because she could globally close.. (this is what I
remember)....

So I've not got around to reading the posts again and
figuring this out.. but from what I remember it's possible
to do... now we all have different systems.. mine is
win98se... so it might just depend on what kind of outlook
version and os you have?

As far as I'm concerned the new computer is the direct
result of previewing a mail--got a virus in it's first few
hours... at that time not opening them and just previewing
was safe... once bitten!!!

now it's being said that closing preview globally in
outlook is NOT possible? Can a add-on or whatever be written
to do this? if so does anyone know of one?

I'd like to be able to use Outlook... with a global shut
down of preview:)
