Hello everyone,
The reason why I always get rid of the preview pane in Mail by
moving the horizontal splitter is to avoid messages being opened
accidentally. As soon as you land on a message in the preview pane,
the message opens automatically which is why they are marked as Read
even though you have not read them yet. Some spammers have a nasty
habit of putting a 1-pixel link in a message, and this link alerts
them to the fact that the message has been opened and that the email
address is genuine. I prefer to keep this information away from as
many spammers as possible. I am quite happy to live without the Jump
command if that is the price to pay to minimise the amount of spam I
receive.
Cheers,
Anne
Hi.
The method *I* use to deal with this is simply turn off cursor
tracking mode. That way, you can just VO around the mail folder, have
nothing read, and then jump the keyboard cursor to a message when you
want to read it. Sounds weird, I know, but it works for me.
