When I used to open Outlook 2007 I saw three separate display areas (in
addition to the "to do area" on the far right which I minimized). The display
areas were Mail, Inbox, & an area that showed what the e-mail message said
with the exception of attachments which were shown as an icon. Today when I
started outlook I only had two e-mail areas, the Mail section showing the
folder tree & the subject area which has a little envelope on the far left
side that must be clicked on in order to see what the e-mail message says.
How do I get back the three display areas which included an area on the right
that actually shows what the e-mail message says (including any visual
displays). I have spent over 2 hours investigating everything in outlook I
can imagine as well as searching in the help section. Nothing except
frustration.

Thanks in advance for an answer

Thank you very much Ms. Poremsky!! The one place I didn't go, reading pane.
Your post solved in 2 minutes what was frustrating me for hours. Obviously I
am new to Outlook. Used Eudora for many years & loved it. Of course, Qualcomm
stopped supporting it some years ago. Thanks again!!
