If my copy of OL2K is anything to go by, the /nopreview switch disables the Preview Pane option under View - Preview Pane. Tools - Options - Preview Pane is still there, but it's pretty much impotent. Autopreview is still available. I could be mistaken, but doesn't this ignore all the html formatting and only grab the text only? If so, this might make a "safe" alternative to Preview Pane. Maybe there's a tweak for a virus filter out to auto-reject all mail with img files below a size visible to the human eye. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
