actually, take a peek under the VIEW settings menu option... there's a
setting in there for preview pane... when you turn it off, you /must/
double click on the message entry to open it and read it... took me a while
to locate it the second or third time i went looking for it with a fuzzy
memory of it...

 SH> However, one might be well advised to turn off the option
 SH> that automatically opens the next message.

that's taken care of with the above setting :wink:
