Vista - New Reading Pane Option

How about an option for the reading pane so that it only displays the
message from a known sender and requires a click to view if its an unknown
sender.

I hate when a piece of junk pops up in there after escaping the filter.

There is an option somewhat like that in Windows Live Mail Desktop beta (I
don't know about Windows Mail). Just go to the options menu (Tools >
Options), then the "Read" tab, then uncheck "Automatically download message
when viewing in the Preview Pane".

Just a thought... But if you use Windows Mail you could send all unknown
sender messages to Junk mail so you don't even have to look at the headers.

Yes, Windows Mail, like OE6, has that option in Tools | Options | Read.
