Overview
If you want to see more than the first three lines of unopened messages in Microsoft Outlook® 97, the Three-Pane Message Preview Extension constructs this layout for you. With it, you can read an entire message in a third pane without opening the message. By moving the border between it and your message window, you can adjust the size of the message preview to see as much of or as little of the selected message as you choose. You can use the message preview by itself or with the AutoPreview view.
