Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

I can't get the view pane on my hotmail junk junk mail to work. The only way
I can see what is in a message is to double click on it to fully open it or
move the messages to my inbox and view the messages there which defeats the
purpose of having a junk mail filter. Is there any way I can get the junk
mail view pane to work so that when the message is selected I can see the
contents?

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

Viewing in the Preview pane defeats the purpose of the Junk folder.
Right click the message, Properties, Details, Message Source.

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

Thanks for the reply Ron. I found the view pane very useful with Outlook
Express and am disappointed its not an option in Windows Live Mail.
Sometimes its not easy to scrutinize a message, especially from someone who
has e mailed for the first time unless one can see the contents. Do you
know if there is a place one can offer suggestions for thre WLM developer
team?

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

The Preview pane is not an option for Junk Mail.
OE did not have a junk mail folder.

Might you be referring to the use of a Hotmail account using WebDAV in OE ? Where junk mail filtered at the web interface server
level was placed in a folder called Bulk.

Desired mail wrongly classified as Junk should be few and far between
once you have all your Contacts entered. Simply select that message
and click Not Junk.

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

Yeah, but there really *is* a bug with that: click 'Not junk' and
the message disappears into its rightful folder, but flagged 'Read'.
I sometimes forget, and then have the devil of a job to find it
again. My preferred MO is to delete it; that way, it ends up
'Unread' in the nearest Deleted items folder, where everything else
is typically 'Read', so the newcomer is easy to find and deal with.

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

That's definitely a bug that needs fixing!

I usually remember to switch folders so I can read that newly
reclassified message, but sometimes I forget.

Re: Junk Mail View Pane Does Not Work

Thank you everyone for your help with this issue. Yes I was referring to the
"Bulk mail" with OE6 where the view pane worked. With WLM I appreciate
learning about the right click "This is not Junk" tip. Also I have left feed
back on the Windows Live site.
