All of a sudden when I open Oulook Express the it goes directly to the inbox, however, there are no annotated headers of the message. The inbox goes to an open email (the last one viewed) and I have to scroll between the open emails to read them. There is no front paget that lists the subjects, sender, etc.. I have tried changing views, options, and all things in the tools, view, etc. tabs on the top of the screen but can not get that initial abbreviated page to come up. Anyone who could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you uncheck the Preview Pane in View | Layout?Outlook Express questions should be posted here.XP - Networking, Mail And Getting Online Forumhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpnetwork/threadsBruce HagenMS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010Imperial Beach, CA
