What's in That E-mail?
Are you tired
of opening e-mail after e-mail, only to find that it's of no interest
to you?
Feel like you
just wasted all your time with the open, close and delete process?
Are you looking
for a way to see what's there, without actually going through the
hassle of opening the message? You know, get a little preview.
If so, what you're
looking for is MS Outlook's Preview Pane feature (in Outlook 2007,
it's called the Reading Pane) and it's only a couple clicks away!
In older versions
of Outlook, you need the View menu, Preview
Pane choice to activate this feature.
In Outlook 2007,
you need the View menu, Reading Pane
submenu and you can then make a choice as to how
you want the Preview Pane to look in the program window.
Voila!
The bottom portion
of your program window becomes a separate pane where you can scroll
through the e-mail, without actually doing the extra work of opening
the message.
Here's another
little piece of important information: you can alter the amount of
window space the Preview Pane uses. To do so, simply run your mouse
pointer slowly over the border between the Inbox and the Preview Pane.
When you see the
double-sided arrow, click, hold and drag the edge of the Preview Pane
to the location you desire. Then just release the mouse button.
You can see as
much or as little of the message as you wish, all without ever even
opening it. Yes!
