Outlook New Preview Option

I'm running the Outlook 2007 Beta and liking it mostly but have run
into a
couple of issues that are buggy.

One, which is most nagging currently pertains to the change that has
been
made with previewing mail. I have mail forwarded to me from my main
office
to my home office. Previously in '03 I couldn't view the contents by
clicking (single mouse click) on it. Now in '07 preview appears with a
single mousse click and in order to view the forwarded mail such that
you can respond, you have todouble-click.

Is there any way to turn-off the preview and have it work like in '03?

Thanks

Thanks Patrick for your quick response.

I'm not sure I described the problem very well. This is something akin
to receiving an attachment. Previously you had to double click to see
the attachment. Now a single click brings up the attachment in a
preview pane.

I would like the double click to be the only option for viewing
attachments in mail. Any chance of that.

My sense is that it's turn on by default with no way to turn it off.

You forward as attachment I assume? Directly doubleclicking should work as
well to skip the in-line preview.

You can turn off the previewers in Tools-> Trust Center-> Attachment
handling.
You can turn it of in general or just for certain type of attachments.

Now I understand the question. I don't think you can turn the preview
feature off entirely. You can do though what Roady suggested, namely
double-clicking on the item to bring it up in a new window.

Never knew you could do that. Thanks!
MS should have really spend some time on revamping the Outlook Options
dialog. The current state with Options being a mess and the trust center
separate is really horrible.

Yep, I tried! But it's not going to happen for Outlook 2007. I proposed to
have at least the Office Logo in the upper left corner and the Options
button there with an interface just like the other clients to get some UI
consitency back. The Trust Center on its own is a good thing but it doesn't
blend in with the reset of Outlook at all!With a separate Options screen
which has additional layers as well it only adds to the confusion.

Oh well, I wasn't about to leave the newsgroup anytime soon anyway so I
won't mind pointing people to the right location ;-)

Thank you both for your help on this issue.

What a totally illogical setup with the Trust center, but now I know
something I didn't previously.
