If you really like the convenience of the Preview pane but worry a little
about the virus threat, you can put a Preview button on the toolbar in OE.
This affords you the opportunity to toggle the Preview on and off with the
click of a mouse button.
Here's how:
Open OE (5/ 5.5/ 6)
View
Layout
Customise Toolbar
Under 'Available Toolbar Buttons' scroll to find 'Preview' and highlight it.
Click Add and that's it.
Now you can toggle Preview on/off at will. I suggest you keep it off and
only use when the need arises.
