Message preview is disabled because Pegasus Mail has detected that it terminated abnormally the last time it ran. If an abnormal program termination is caused by the contents of the first message in the folder being previewed (as can sometimes happen with certain types of badly-formatted HTML message), then it may be impossible to restart the program while the preview mode is on. For this reason, the program automatically disables preview mode when it detects that an abnormal termination may have occurred. To re-enable the Message preview function, please go to the "Folders" menu and select the "Preview mode" option.
