The link action is controlled by your Windows settings, not Outlook and definitely not the sender. Email preview only. Calendar and Contact Outlook items can have attachments too but, strangely, Outlook doesn’t support attachments in the preview/reading pane. You have to double-click on an attachment to open it fully.
Is it possible to allow inline editing of items being viewed in the reading pane, like an Outlook task? Here is some background: One of my clients uses OneNote for task lists, which works ok to a point. I've never liked how there is no archive of completed tasks and they currently make a note tab called 'completed' and manually move checked items there from time to time. But the big problem is the Notebook is shared over the network between 5 employees and some of the Section files are over 8MB and when viewing and editing these sections its very slow. So I want to try and migrate them to use Outlook Tasks for there 'to do' list, which is hard since OneNote is so simple and fast.
But Outlook will be able to handle archiving completed tasks and keep the system fast. I've created some custom Task views to make the task list nice and simple. One thing i don't like and I know the client won't is having to open a window to view & edit the task. Enabling the 'Reading pane' on the right of the task list solves half this problem, but it would be nice if one could edit the task text contents in the reading pane. I've looked all through Outlook trying to find a setting and can't find one. So i'm wondering if this is possible?
If not maybe is there a way to have opened tasks open in a pane rather than a new window when you double click them?
