Well, yes, of course, and I use that option religiously in my Outlook settings (what 
can I say, I *do* like "enriched" text e-mails, as well as the address book, calendar, 
and to-do list integration).  However, auto-preview is not a panacea; Many HTML and 
RTF e-mails display none of the message body in the auto-preview tabular view.  Those 
that don't and are not from a trusted source, I delete without reading.  The trusted 
ones, usually E-mags and newsletters I signed up to receive, including JDJ, Red Hat 
"Under the Brim", etc., get a cautious look-see after I pass them through Norton 
Anti-virus.
