Hi Steve, You want the horizontal scroll bar to the right of the messages list. If you do it with your mouse or trackpad, it should work fine. Someone told me that you have to interact with it first and take it down to zero. I don't know if that's true, but I did it.
As for bringing preview back, I'm not sure, I've never wanted to do that. :) Best, Donna On Feb 28, 2012, at 4:24 PM, Steve Holmes wrote: > 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.
