i'm not seeing this option and its really annoying having outlook tell me i have something new when i've already read the message.
 
this is for Outlook 2000, so it might be different for you. tools->options, "other" tab, preview pane, mark messages as read in preview window at whatever time delay you like.

Same in Outlook XP.

On another note, why in the hell are you using the preview pane?

It's a lot faster and more efficient use of time to hit the down arrow on the keypad in order to read through email. Do you have a faster way? Why don't you use it?

why wouldn't you use the preview pane? there is no point in ever opening an email... it just shows up in the preview pane... I have always used it and I always will.

I also only use it at work. The server is pretty good at scrubbing that crap before it gets to me.

Say said "weird" message happens to be the top message in your Inbox. Said message has then been instantly executed.
