I have downloaded sample formserver from microsoft and installed the
custom
form. The custom form is displyed properly in inspector window. But in
readingpnae, it is showing a message as "This item cannot be displayed
in
the Reading Pane. Open the item to read its contents."

In the form, we have used only body and subject properties. Is this a
problem? Or is there a way to show them in reading pane?
I had seeon one article on this at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288754
So is this not possible at all? Please confirm.

Why didn't you believe the article? It means what it says: Outlook does not
display custom forms in the reading pane.

The only solution built into Outlook extensibility is to use a form region,
but that's available only for Outlook 2007. In earlier versions, the Add-in
Express developer tool provides a solution, presumably by working at the
Windows API level. But neither of those solutions has anything directly to do
with a custom form.
