Windows Mail: preview pane and contacts in question

[Howling Wolf]

Yes, I'm coming back to Outlook Express aka Windows Mail 7...

Two questions about it:

1st one is (was already an issue with OE6): isn't there really any way to hide/unhide the preview pane with the keyboard ? Why do we have to go in the layout options to do it ?

2nd question is: is there a way to include the contacts list in the layout, like in former OE6 ? I don't understand why contacts are seperated in Vista ?

No answers, so I guess what I want is not possible... 🙁

1.) There is no keyboard shortcut for the Reading Pane.
2.) One of my clients likes that feature from OE6 and won't even upgrade to Outlook 2003/2007 because of it.

Sad enough.
