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 ?

 

[Howling Wolf]

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.
