Thanks Jacquee.

I have no idea what you're seeing. Have not heard of this happening. Best thing to do is go to the Microsoft Forum and ask the programmers. I do this all the time. http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us...

Tell them which version you're using.

Great tip as always, Peggy. I look forward to receiving them because I know your tips are always useful.

Here's something that's been plaguing me lately and I bet others have had this problem as well. Why do messages in Outlook sometimes appear in an invisible yellow font? The message in the preview window appears fine, but when I open it up, it's illegible! Like the message disappeared. What's up with that?

JB, I like the Reading Pane on my right so I can read the entire message, open any attachments, etc. You can change Outlook Options and keep a message bold/unread in the Reading Pane if you select it.

Click the Tools menu, Options, Other tab, Navigation Pane, and untick the box next to “Mark items as unread when viewed in the Reading Pane.” This way, it’ll only be marked as Read if you open it. After opening, you can right-click on the message and Mark as Unread if needed.

Hey Peggy,

Great post about deleting email. I tend to use AutoPreview view so I can get just a taste of the message that is sent to me before I delete or direct the message to my spam filter. I would also suggest turning off the reading pane as well so that the message is not considered read if you click on it.

Thanks again
