Message Preview Pane

If the “Show message preview pane” option is selected in the Viewing Mail options window, then the message preview pane appears in roughly the bottom half of the mailbox window. See “Viewing Mail” on page 210. Click the page number to display the topic.

The message preview pane shows the key headers and the message body of the currently selected message in the message summary list. If the full message body is not visible in the preview pane, scroll bars are displayed, allowing you to view the rest of the message. Only one message in a mailbox can be previewed at a time.

To move the keyboard focus from the message summary list to the message preview pane and back again, press Tab or F6. Or simply click in the preview pane to put the focus there.

When keyboard focus is in the preview pane, you can do any of the following, as you can in an open incoming message window.

■Press the spacebar to page down through the message.

■Use the arrow keys, as set in the Miscellaneous options window (unmodified or with Ctrl or Alt), to switch to the next or previous message in the mailbox. See “Miscella- neous” on page 231. Click the page number to display the topic.

■Use standard keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+R for Reply, Ctrl+D for Delete, etc. See “Eudora Shortcuts” on page 236. Click the page number to display the topic.

■Right-click anywhere in the preview pane to display a drop-down list with commands appropriate for the previewed message.

■Click an attachment icon or name to open the attachment.

■Click a URL (hot link) to launch the application for that URL.

If the “Show message preview pane” option is selected in the Viewing Mail options window, you can press F7 to show and hide the preview pane within the current mailbox only. However, this does not control the visibility of the preview pane in other mailboxes. Also, you can do this by clicking on the separator bar between the message list and the preview pane.

You can change the height of the preview pane relative to the message summary list. Just position the mouse pointer over the separator bar between the list and the preview pane and drag the bar up or down.

If the “Show message preview pane” option is turned off in the Viewing Mail options window, only the message summaries are shown in any mailbox window.

If the preview pane option is selected and the “Mark previewed messages as read after _ second(s)” option is selected in the Viewing Mail options window, the current message is marked as read (blank in the Status column) after the specified number of seconds. You can always change the message’s status back to Unread (•) by pressing Shift+Space while the message is selected or open (press again to change back to Read). If the “Mark previewed...” option is turned off, previewed messages are never automatically marked as read. For more information, see “Viewing Mail” on page 210. Click the page number to display the topic.
