Vista - Too Many Reading Pane Headers

Too Many Reading Pane Headers

In Outlook Express I liked to use the "Three Pane" view, so that I could
simultaneously view folders, message list and a reading pane on the screen.

In WLM, if I position the reading pane below the message list, all I can see
in the reading pane without scrolling down are the many headers lines that
show me the identity of the sender, his/her messenger photograph, the date
etc.

Is there a way of reducing the number of headers in the reading pane so that
I can actually read the message?

Many Thanks

Rob

Re: Too Many Reading Pane Headers

You can eliminate the header in the reading pane:
View, Layout, uncheck "Show preview pane header."
Note that on the same screen you can select the three-pane
side-by-side view, if you prefer that.

Re: Too Many Reading Pane Headers

Slowly move the cursor over the area between the message pane and the
reading pane.
The cursor will change to a double headed arrow.
Hold a left click and drag up.
