Thanks Ron...I really appreciate the reply and the graphic. In OE I just leave that bar on "Show All Messages" and then uncheck it in the layout...works for me.

Undoubtedly, I have totally misinterpreted Gary's posting.

All I know is that I can view 5 or 6 messages and if I highlight
one, the messages appears below the horizontal "bar" and I can
scroll down to read it or doubleclick it to open in full screen
view. This is somewhat like OEs "preview" mode.
