Is there a message preview column (not pane) such as in Outlook?

more options

I am setting up Thunderbird for the first time. I would like to have the message previewed in the column area, not only in the preview pane. Is there a way to do this?

I have attached a snip from Outlook highlighting what I am looking for in yellow.

Thanks,

Richard

There is no preview in Thunderbird. You open a message in the Message Pane, a Tab or a Window.

Thanks to you both for the info!

Does anyone else think this would be a desirable feature?
