====Question or Symptom====
When I go to View-->Layout, I have a Preview Pane section, but the
settings are all grayed out.


====Resolution====
     You have to actually be viewing a message in order to set these options.
     Don't assume you're safe just because you don't see the "show Preview
     Pane" box as being checked. If it's grayed out you have no information
     about your current settings.
