You'll see all messages with that particularperson and they'll be organized in a nice, neat thread!

o Worried about a virus? First off, NEVER open an attachmentbefore virus checking it. Also consider using "ChiltonPreview" rather than Outlook's built-in preview pane.http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/8392/

Microsoft Outlook's AutoPreview lets you see just the firstthree lines of messages. It also leaves you susceptible tomalicious code in html messages. "Chilton Preview" is a tinyadd-on that puts a whole third pane on your Outlook window,to let you scroll through entire messages without openingthem. It reads the plain text equivalent of HTML messages soit does not leave you vulnerable to malicious code in HTMLmail.
