Hi George,

Removing the preview pane is a real headache, but IMHO worth it once you get it 
gone.  Here are some instructions that Tim Kilburn posted a while back.  Just 
fyi, I had better luck when I placed one finger on the trackpad and drug 
downward with a different finger.  Tim's instructions below.
Good luck!
Donna

> 3.  Close Mail Prefs.
> 4.  Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter after the Messages Table.
> 5.  Press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure the mouse is focused on the Splitter.
> 6.  Press down on the Trackpad then drag downwards to the bottom of the
