Outlook opening mail

[Norm]

Hi,

I want to change my email from outlook express, to outlook 2000.

At present, my email messages sit in my outlook express file until I
open them.

In outlook 2000, they open straight away, this means if something
offensive, or worse is in the mail, it is opened automatically.

Is there a way that I can command Outlook 2000 to leave emails
unopened until I click on them?


Thanks,

Norm.

Under View, check that Preview Pane and AutoPreview are
turned off.

Also, under Tools.Options.Preferences.Email Options...
make sure you set "After deleting an open item" to "return
to the inbox" - the default is "open the next item".
