Hello,
Thank you for posting here.
Based on my knowledge, in Outlook 2003 the security has been strengthened.
Potentially malicious scripts or attachments are not activated or opened
automatically in the Reading Pane. Therefore, you can view messages safely
in the Reading Pane, and you don''t need to disable the feature in Outlook
2003. Although most malicious attachment types are blocked by Outlook,
messages and attachments from unknown or unsolicited senders should always
be treated with caution.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards
Alan Sun

|Many years ago the "Company" adopted a policy of not allowing Preview
|Pane use on client PCs due to risks associated with malicious code.
|Users are required to first preview read the email headers (subject,
|from, etc.) , then decide whether or not to open an email. Use of the
|Preview Pane is a violation of policy.
|
|With all the patches and security upgrades to Windows, Office,
|Outlook, MS Exchange, and better AV, firewalls, etc. is previewing
|messages in the Preview Pane still a risky practice? We're on a
|relatively secure network with full-time AV running on all clients
|(and severs and firewalls) with 100% management of all patches and
|updates, so is there still a danger or may I safely recommend we allow
|users to use the Preview Pane again?
|
|What about Chilton Preview? Safe or not?
|
|Thanks.
