SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft Outlook 98 receives a digitally signed or sealed (encrypted) message, the preview pane will not display the contents of the message. You must open the message to read it.



CAUSE
This is by design. For Outlook to apply its security procedures you must open the message.



MORE INFORMATION
Displaying the message in the preview pane would bypass security procedures and defeat the purpose of signing or sealing the message.

On View menu, click Preview Pane to toggle the Preview Pane on or off.
