   Paul, some great developments on the preview pane. I’m really pleased to see what little overhead they place on the site i.e. only firing back to the server on new content. I really like using this webpart side by side with a calendar, allows a user to hover all over multiple events without drilling into them. Believe me, in a busy firm with many calendar events in month or week views the people love this. To get the most out of this approach its better to hide the quick launch (but that can sometimes confuse people!). The change you made to limit the width in the label column is really going to help me. thanks!

   Paul,

   I am not a site developer, just a business owner that is on a budget that is doing my site development myself (gets a little busy at times!). I can’t thank you enough for publishing your series, it has helped me so much in developing my SharePoint site.

   Quick question on the evolution of the preview pane:

   I have recently finished setting up the document libraries in the site to work with Colligo for sharepoint.

   when E-mails are stored on the sharepoint site, i can’t seem to figure out how to preview the message within outlook like when its located directly in my mailbox.

   Likewise, on the sharepoint site itself – I can’t figure out how to preview the stored e-mail message either without opening it.

   Could your preview pane be configured to display .msg files stored in a sharepoint list.

   It probably displays the metadata right now – but man it would be a real boost when going through a document library full of e-mails if you could hover over the item and get a preview in sharepoint of the body like you get in outlook and then click to open in when you find the one you were looking for!

   Like I said, I’m not a developer so I’m probably being too optimistic with this request but its worth a shot!

   @Tim,

   That would be really nice. Office Live has this type of preview for Office docs, I think it’s coming with the next version of SP, but I don’t have an OOB solution for it right now.

   @John,

   I’ll make it available soon. I’m still working out some kinks with IE and trying to optimize the process of binding the mouseover events.

   Let me know if you’ve discussed something I didn’t cover.

    Regards,

    @Ramana,

    This script does not preview files, it only loads and displays portions of .aspx files like DispForm.aspx, userdisp.aspx, etc.

    I don’t have an email-enabled environment to test with, but I’m confident you can use this to display the email’s metadata.
