We are not ignoring this bug. We are (obviously) aware of it very
concerned with fixing it properly. We hope to have a fix available as
soon as possible.

Personally (read: not speaking for BSW), I have never understood why
anyone would want the preview pane. The fact that it is there shows
that some people do, I guess, but not me. I have always turned it
off. It's not big enough to read a full message so I still have to
open them to read them. It takes up space in my message list so it's
annoying that way. And it is *extremely* rare (probably 1 in 1,000
messages) that I see a message I think I want to read which turns out
to be junk. Usually I can tell spam within a half second of seeing
the Subject: or From: address.

Shrug. Just my opinion. I'd be interested in hearing why people like
the preview pane.
