Additional
Control for AutoPreview
I thought today we
would take a minute to expand on Friday's tip for Outlook's AutoPreview
feature.
I'm sure that if you
keep quite a few messages in your mailbox, you might have noticed how
long the message list becomes as a result of the AutoPreview.
The length of the
list in the new format may become a deterrent for some, so the next logical
question is to wonder if there's a way to control it a bit.
While you don't have
a lot you can alter, you can control the AutoPreview some. Specifically,
you can set AutoPreview to only display the first three lines of e-mails
that are unread.
To make this setting
change, you'll need to go to the View menu, Current
View submenu and Customize Current View choice.
In the View Summary
window, click the Other Settings button.
When the Other Settings
window opens, you need to locate the AutoPreview section.
Select the "Preview
unread items" choice and click OK.
Click OK again
to exit the View Summary window.
Upon returning to
your Outlook mailbox, you'll find that the three lines of text are gone
for all e-mails you've previously read, resulting in a shorter message
list!
