Why did my reading pane stop working?

[Marina]

My reading pane was working just fine until yesterday. Now the line that
divides the e-mails from the reading pane is still there, but there is no
e-mail to read in the pane - it's a blank space. Anyone know how to fix this?

If you're using Outlook 2002 try this: (from the Help panel at the top-right)
AutoPreview.
Note To preview the first three lines of unread messages only, on the View
menu, point to Current View, and then click Customize Current View. Click
Other Settings, and then click Preview unread items.
