How do i change the color of the selection highlight. In the messages list
the message that you currently have selected is a different color than the
rest on the emails in the list. How do I change the color of this highlight?
 
This is a real problem. Can you suggest what Windows scheme settings would
address this?
Here's the deal. I have Outlook 2003 on two computers.
On the XP Pro machine, when I highlight an email, it is blue. Then, if I
click in the preview pane to copy and paste something for example, the
highlight changes from blue to gray.
On the Windows 7 machine though, when I click into the preview pane, the
highlight changes to WHITE, which is INDISTIGUISHABLE from all the rest of
the UNselected emails. So, then I lose track of just which email I'm
previewing.

You really can't. It's controlled indirectly by the windows theme/scheme.

Right-click the desktop and choose Personalize. Find the tab that controls
how selections look and change them.
