I don't show the preview pane (and don't want to).

But I want to open a message by double clicking on it.
For some reason, each message opens if I single click on it.
I have my folder options set to double click. It takes a double
click to activate each short cut icon on desktop so I don't understand
why my email messages are opening with a single click.


Try right-clicking to select it instead?

Also, you could try clickiing on a different column for a message you wanted
to select. E.g. if the message was an already downloaded newsgroup post
clicking on the Mark Offline column (even doubleclicking there) would do
nothing but select the message.



thanks for help!!
