Default Reading Pane blank on Custom Form

Nope no code. No I did not write any vbscript. Its a pretty simple form. No
not a Dumb question thought about that too. When i open the form it shows the
infomation that I added to it......Tried setting my security setting in
outlook to "Medium" Internet.

How I did it was:

1. Design form and selected Message.
2. Deleted the "body" control box because I want to be to have the labels of
the Fields to "read only".
2a. Unchecked "Seprate Read Layout"
3. Made custom fields, text only.
4. Dragged the fields from the field chooser and edit them for font and color.
5. Tried dragging some of the defalt fields to the message body to see if
this would make it show. didnt....

"Code" refers to VBScript code written in the form's code window at any time
during the form's design. I am not aware of any issue with formula fields
causing the reading pane not to display the message body. Did you ever write
any VBScript code for this form? Dumb question, but does the body actually
contain text? The reason I ask is that it's possible to create a custom form
that has no body content.

If there is code behind the form, the reading pane will not display the
message body. That's a known limitation.

Designed a Form and when I open the form I can see the message body but not
in the reading pane.
