Problem with OL 2002 XP and Large (67Mb) Email

[Ben Holness]

Hi all,

I have a problem with Outlook 2002 XP. I have received an email that is 67Mb big (inline, not attachment) and I have preview pane switched on. Everytime I start Outlook, it crashes trying to preview the email.

I have renamed the .pst so that it doesn't load and I can get into Outlook.

Is there anyway to turn the preview pane off without having to enter the folder? If so, I can delete the email without previewing.
If not, can anyone suggest any other ways that I could get into this PST?

Cheers,

Ben

Try starting Outlook with the /nopreview command line switch.
