System information

A single click on any message in the Search results sends it to the embedded Preview Pane for viewing. Double-click on a message to view it in a
separate Message Details popup window. Both methods offer the ability to view the message as the sender intended for it to be viewed, as well
as the underlying message source code. You can also select the character set to use for a particular message which can be especially useful
when viewing a poorly formatted message that does not declare an appropriate charset. You can download each viewable message to your
desktop as an .eml file.
