Thanks for the reply. I think, however, it would be less trouble to refresh
the preview pane by just clicking away from the item in the Outbox and then
clicking on it again. Actually, in experimenting with your Drafts
suggestion, I have discovered that all I need to do to get the preview pane
to refresh is click on the item in the Outbox.
The question remaining is: why do I have to do this now, when I haven't had
to do it for the last 5 years or so.
