A little trick that might help would be to collapse the folder list on the left when looking at a folder that contains lots of mail. This would shift the message list to the left and place the preview pane on the right.
An interesting idea for an AppleScript would be one that collapses the folder list on the left and increases the font sizes of the preview pane for use on small monitors; the corollary script would undo this action. Paul – would this be good for the 12” PB?
That's simple to do with GUI scripting, but why would you need a script? Your monitor/screen does change its size from day to day. You would need to toggle the left Folder column open and shut to navigate mail vs. reading it in wider Preview Pane, but why do you think a script would help? All you have to do is click the button? Do you mean in order to provide it with a Keyboard shortcut? OK, but you can do that without a script too (in Panther). Go to System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts. Add Entourage (not "Microsoft Entourage") under "Application Keyboard Shortcuts" and add a shortcut for "Folders List". It will only work when the main window is in the front, and the same would be true for a GUI script.
