Well, I totally hate it. All it does is reduce my screen-size and lop off a couple of inches on the right, to make way for a Chat/IM column that I ain't never gonna use. Can't figure a way to order the damn thing go away, either. There doesn't seem to be any Hide option. So I'm just left with a wasted blank grey area which eats up space for info I want, like senders' names, subject headings, and other inconsequential frivolities. John please please tell me there's a way to Disappear it, which I've managed to miss...
