Concerning getting rid of the preview pane, Which suggestion is the best? Clicking on the horrizontal bar between message list and message area or the one on the other side. I think VO said Horizontal. I also saw reference to a vertical bar; now I'm not sure totally what I heard and won't know til I get home tonight. My other question is if one gets rid of the preview pane this way, how can you get it back? I get the idea that whatever procedure was followed for ridding oneself of the preview pane hasn't always worked. Could you clarify a good reliable procedure to follow to remove preview completely?
