Disable AutoPreview
Computing Services recommends that you disable Outlook's AutoPreview feature. AutoPreview displays the first few lines of the actual message text in your Inbox window. Disabling this feature helps to protect your computer from opening a message that could infect your computer. Follow these steps:
- When AutoPreview is enabled, your messages appear with the first few lines of the actual message displayed as shown in this example. To disable AutoPreview, select View > AutoPreview to deselect and disable the option.

- Your Inbox messages should now appear with only the subject line displayed.
