When deleting an e-mail, how do I make Outlook open the next e-mai

[JHM]

I recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003. I noticed that on the
older version, when I opened an email, and deleted it, the next mail in line
would open automatically. On this version, when I delete it, the window
closes and sends me back to the list of mail without opening the next. Is
there a way to set it up so that when I delete the mail the window doesn't
close and instead opens the next in line?

Thanks,

deleting an open item:" Change pull down to "open the next item".
