somewhere in my first use of machine i read somewhere that preview pane
should be turned off so email cannot be partially viewed. my friend is
using
his. i didn't realize you only single click the message to view it in
pane.
is this a safe way to use the preview pane since you're not double
clicking
the email?

just an inquiry.

thank you, len kiesling
