>I probably didn't explain what I wanted all that well, since most everybody

>of its display options) is more of a sorting utility. What I wanted to do was
>to have an additional pane appear below my list of Inbox messages. Other
>people suggested that I use the AutoPreview feature. AutoPreview was already

>visited their web site, in hopes that I might find an answer.

>Lo and behold, Outlook has a list of free downloads that expand its

>nobody at work remembered ttait was an add-on...). I will make a quick quote

>"Now, with this 3-Pane Etension, you also have the option of displaying an
>entire message at the bottom of the view without opening the message."

>This is what I wanted, because it allows me to read a message without
>invoking the full viewer, and allows me to delete the message and move on to
>the next one. Delete,in the full message viewing window, removes the
>character to the right of the caret, which is counter productive (IMHO).

>Anyhoo, you can get the Outlook extension by pointing your web browser to:

>Try it, I'm certain you will find this very useful.

>Have a good weekend, all.

>PS: Good to hear from you, 16!
