Can someone explain to me how this is different from going down one by one
and opening the emails - and getting infected?

I thought it was the job of the virus scanner to find and isolate viruses
before they ever get to your mail box.

I agree with Loraine that View/Preview Pane is what you're after. However I
caution you against using that facility anyway. It means that as you scroll
your list each email is opened. It also means that when you load Outlook, or
first switch to Inbox, that the top email is opened. If it was a
virus-carrier you have no chance to delete it before opening it. Boom -
you're hit. Same each time you get new mail. It's a company rule here not to
use the Preview Pane, and I believe it's quite a common policy. PITA I know,
but not as bad as recovering from a virus strike.

  Outlook
  Outlook abended 
  yesterday and today the default window is no longer split horizontally,
with 
  the body of the selected message visible in the lower half of the window.
I 
  can't locate the setting that controls this. Now I have to double-click a 
  message to read it.
   
  Anyone know how to 
  restore this to its original 
state?
