Wouldn't putting an option in one of those pages make it an folder option
instead of a global option. The reason I am asking is that that is the place I
also think it should be, but if putting it there makes it a folder option
then I am not sure. I'm not sure, but I think having some folders with
preview panes and some with out would be a disruptment to the user,
therefore it should be a global option. Any opinions?

Hm, Ok, I'll have a look at it. What thought I would do is disable
auto-preview option, as it makes no sense to have the auto-preview if you
have no preview pane. But I see you point, allthough not entirely
convinced, because that would mean the message windows would keep popping
up every time you stop at a message, which might annoy the user.

Its just a personal preference I would like to get out of the way. 
Also, just to let you know, I have allmost finished the implementation for
this allready, just need to tweak and debug it.
