Linda....

I know you keep telling me that I can turn off preview for a
folder then afterwards  the preview pane will be closed for
all files in that folder -  I had a look and that is so,
that's great but that's not my exact problem.

{ I decided that we were looking at this problem in
different ways.. I was not getting across what I meant... so
I've spent some time in outlook ... and come up with what my
exact problem is.... if you have a solution great.... if you
don't... what effects can happen nowadays without outlook
and preview? ...Are all the problems with oe and preview re
catching a virus (if say Norton has not caught it) the same
as outlook? Can I make all emails that I download from the
server convert to plain text even if they are sent in html
before I open them?... }

However if I then go to another folder that I have not
previously turned off preview it will open in preview.. if I
go through all my folders turning preview off.. then work
for say a day and  leave a couple of folders with preview
turned on...

If I then close it down then come back the next day... and
click on a folder that I happened to have left preview open
on... it will open up with preview viewable... I would have
to remember to turn off preview in EACH folder... in outlook
express this can be done globally.. if I click to close
preview on folder it will be then closed in  <all others>
that I visit.

yes I can turn off preview in a folder and as long as I'm in
the folder I can easily click the icon to turn off preview..
but if I leave it on.. I've no way of knowing that I did
leave it on till I visit that folder again... after the
fact... and I want a before the fact solution.. namely what
oe gives.. me...

I don't think I was getting this across before... the fact
that if it's left on.. you just can't turn it off without
visiting the folder first.. at least as far as I can figure
out define views is not available for ALL folders in
outlook - as far as I can figure out.

I also could not find message source anywhere.. only headers
for emails.... so if I wanted to view the message without
opening it I could not....

If outlook has some kind of protection nowadays for
previewing emails.. that's great... I can then use it.. but
I want to be sure about this...

I'm truly not asking the same question as before.

I want to upgrade to ie6.. and thought now would be the time
to look into this again, sorry to bug you with it
again...but now I think I've articulated the problem better
you might be able to tell me if there is a global (ie All
folders in outlook not just All files in one folder )
solution.

Thanks Tina
