Ya, I thought about doing that. If I do, I'll probably put in a line telling
the user what's up ("This autopreview intentionally left blank").
Just thought I'd see if there's an official way to make it not show (like
the preview pane). Are all Outlook AutoPreview's the same size (number of
lines shown)?

PS: Sue, a while back I noted that my OutlookExpress doesn't indent your
posts when I reply to them. I figured out that this is because you post with
quoted printable MIME encoding. I know it's rather forward of me to ask, but
if it doesn't hold any particular advantage for you, could you change your
MIME encoding, just for me (and anyone else who uses OE to reply to your
posts, or reads OE replies to your posts)?
PPS: I asked on microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
about this quoted printable problem , and got this reply:
It's "broken as designed". If you use OE-Quotefix,
you can over-ride this behaviour.

So it is fixable on my end if I install some software (which has other
advantages, too), but I'm not the only one tortured by folks who use quoted
printable. ;-)
What about padding the Body with enough text to keep the gibberish from
showing up, but tell the parser to ignore it?

In a user's Inbox, the data in a form's Item.Body shows in Outlook's
autopreview (NOT the preview pane). When designing an Outlook Form, how can
I stop that from happening? The Item.Body, in this case, looks like garbage
to the user, because it is encoded data for the form's VBScript to parse.
