Here is how to delete a message in Outlook Express without opening the message This is a common request, due to current fears of e-mail viruses and malicious attachments. Fortunately, it's a simple matter of changing the way you use Outlook Express. Most people like to keep the preview pane visible so they can quickly flip through messages without specifically opening each one. You'll need to give up the preview pane. Choose Layout from the View menu and remove the check next to the Show preview pane. Now you can click a message header to delete it without opening the message in the preview pane. You can flip through your messages quickly even without the preview pane. Before going through your messages, review the headers and delete any that you don't want to open. Now double-click the first header to open it. You can move through the messages in the current folder by pressing Ctrl-> and Ctrl-<, or you can move to the next unread message with Ctrl-U.
