If you turn off the Preview Pane (View, Layout) in Outlook Express you
can select and delete a message without OE trying to open it. For OE5+
you can add a button to the Tool Bar to toggle the Preview Pane off and
on.

Have recently encountered a problem, to which I have not been able to
find a solution.
Certain e-mail messages, those with graphics, cannot be deleted. I
can delete text messages OK and even some with graphics, but certain
graphics refuse to be deleted, whether I use the delete key, the delete
option in the dropdown menu or the icon on the tool bar.
I use XP and OE 6. Also Internet Explorer 6.
When attempting to delete, I get no error messages. In attempting to
move a file that would not delete, to the Deleted Items folder I got the
following message:

Help will be greatly appreciated- thank you.
