note that the reading pane is actually safe than opening messages.

Interesting. How is reading pane safer than opening a message?

The biggest problem I have with reading pane is it opens spam right away if
it happens to be the selected item. I'm assuming that it sends a
confirmation to the spammer that I've received and opened their spam. It's a
green light for them to send me more spam. Is this not true with reading
pane enabled?
