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.

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. > > TF> Should I just leave it as is, and take on the extra > TF> "burden" of configuring this manually or should it be a one click > option. > > Frankly, personally I don't see anything wrong with having the viewer > window as part of the main one, so it's really up to you to decide.

Also, just to let you know, I have allmost finished the implementation for this allready, just need to tweak and debug it. -- Thomas Finneid email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
