Thought I had the hang of it, but - My e-mail messages are displayed in the lower area whether or not they are opened.  In the configuration of Read the 4 boxes are all "unchecked".   I woulld like the messages to only be displayed if I choose to open them.   I would think a default setting would be such for security.  Thank you   I have just had to re-install the Windows Live Mail and have also updated to IE9
