Maximize the Preview Pane Width in Netscape or Mozilla

By , About.com Guide

The message preview pane in Netscape or Mozilla is a useful tool, but HTML messages can need a wide screen. Then the folder list at the left takes away valuable space from the preview pane.

To maximize the width of the message preview pane in Netscape or Mozilla:

  • Select Edit | Preferences... from the menu.
  • Go to the Mail and Newsgroups category.
  • Under General Settings, select the right window layout, which trades a smaller folder list for a bigger preview pane.
  • Click OK.
  • Close and reopen the mail window.

Note: In Netscape 4, the preview pane layout setting is under Mail & Newsgroups | Window Settings.
