This may not be that place to post this message, perhaps someone can help me anyway, or direct me to someone that can. If the mouse pointer is on an Email when Outlook Express 6 downloads Emails the contents of the Email is displayed automatically. I do not want the contents to be displayed automatically, is there any way to disable this feature? I want to have to double-click on an Email to wiew the contents. My concern is that an unwanted Email with a virus may open before I can trash it. I have looked at options but have not found any way to keep Emails from opening automatically.

Just in passing, you can't acquire a virus just by looking at the body text of an email. Its things like clicking on links or opening attachments that bring the infections.
