Perhaps some of us lost the forest in the trees.
Preview is a security problem of (for me at least ) unknown importance. Let
me explain how I use my Outlook e-mail.
I have my main inbox folder. It catches all of my e-mail messages initially,
but I have rules that specify automatic disposition of some kinds of the
messages that come into the inbox (by the contents of the subject line). I
like to get my inbox messages from my hi-volume sources (such as this mso
list) segregated into sub-folders. So I have set up sub-folders such as
MSO-IN. Why do I segregate them? I find it easier to examine threads and
delete selectively or en-mass messages of no interest When I go through my
mail in the MSO-IN folder, I will read it and either leave it in MSO-IN as
read, or delete it, or I will move it out to some other folder such as my
MSO folder, or to some subfolder of the MSO folder such as MSO-Linda
subfolder.
I presume that, for safety sake, my top level Inbox folder should NOT employ
preview. Probably my subfolders that contain messages that were processed
automatically from the inbox by rules, such as my MSO-IN should NOT employ
preview since theoretically it would be possible for a bad guy to spoof my
rule by placing "[MSO]" in the subject line of a message with a dangerous
payload. I might, however, take that chance, or I might tighten up my rules
to look at other than just the subject line. In any case messages that I
have already personally read and moved to storage in other subfolders can be
considered safe ( am I correct?). In any of the "safe" subfolders preview
could be safely used. (am I correct ?)

Not a problem, Paul. It's a common thing in this group. Many people
confuse Outlook and Outlook Express, and as we are all seeing, they are
very different.
And, Welcome to the group!

Hi Linda,
Outlook Express, sorry I didn't clear that up.
Paul.
