How do I get rid of the Preview Pane (I think that's what i's called) on the bottom half of my email message screen................... (It shows the message even before I open the email).
Windows Live Mail + Hotmail make it real easy. Just click on Options and the first choice that comes up has to do with the Preview Pane setting. Just select Off.
With Yahoo Mail, in order to avoid the Preview Pane you have to opt for Yahoo Mail Classic.
