Vista - Quick views (All news) = 100% CPU for about 15 minutes

Upon upgrading to the December beta refresh and clicking into the newsgroups
section, I was puzzled to see "All news" Quick view incrementing steadily
with no way to stop it that I could find, all the while taking 100% of the
CPU. That's not a very nice user experience upon opening the program. Why
wouldn't it happen when it senses low user activity, like, say, Windows
indexing does? And how on earth do you stop it once it gets going?

This is one of the reasons why I use Windows Mail (instead of WLM)
for newsgroups. I have no use for the "All news" Quick view, but there
is no way to deselect it as a Quick view.

Does that mean you are using Quick view for something else?
What's it good for? <eg>

FWIW I don't have Quick views at all.

My only complaint is that the so-called compact folder pane
can't be eliminated entirely. The closest I have found to be able
to do this is to have my WLMail application window always open
with that edge of the window hidden. Doing that exposes more
of the From column underneath my open message windows
(or alternatively, a wider Reading pane than would otherwise
be possible.)

I only use the "All sent items" and "All junk e-mail" in Quick views.
I also have "Unread e-mail" but I seldom open it. I use its blue
tally count to make sure I have read all newly arrived emails.

"All sent items" is useful for quickly rechecking a recently sent message.

"All junk e-mail" is quite useful for a quick review of suspected spam
before deleting it. I don't see any point in separating spam by account.

I'm too used to just doing Ctrl-Shift-F Alt-B ... Alt-c, F4 Enter.
WLMail makes this harder than it needs to be (e.g. harder than OE
makes it) because we can't navigate in the Alt-B dialog by keystroke
in which case all I would need to do is type S.


I using WLMail for news only so I don't get any E-mail
("junk" or otherwise.) ; )
