Maybe just change the outlook shortcut to start outlook with the /nopreview switch? That disables preview and removes it from the view menu.

Just an FYI - I believe that switch is version specific, as it doesn't work in Outlook 2007. Dunno why you'd want to disable it though.

Hi, 58sniper
He did say OL2k3.
And many people consider the preview pane a security risk, it often results in messages being flagged as read that aren't and then if the user is configured to view only unread messages they complain about messages disappearing.
I don't agree with all those reasons either, but believe in giving the people what they want when possible.

I know. I was merely letting the OP know that that option wouldn't survive an upgrade.
Read receipts have no value, really, Users can read email without triggering a message being marked read or a read receipt being generated. And, a message being marked as read and/or a read receipt being sent does not indicate it's been read. A user can configure Outlook to never send read receipts, and can mark a message as unread after opening it. Thus - no tangible value.
Just an FYI, really. I spend my 9-5 in the email archiving space, including around eDiscovery, legal holds, email tracking, etc. So if the OP wants to circumvent some potential liability, the focus is in the wrong place.
