Good question!

I don't think you can do this without an ActiveX control that is trusted.
But here is an idea that I use.

Set the folders Home Page to a page with active content and it will allow
DHTML and jscript/java/vbs to run with normal security restrictions.
Sharepoint folders are vaery convenient for publishing dynamic content to
Outlook clients.
 
I tried to set the homepage of the public folder to a page with active
content. but I still get the message "this item contains active content
and cannot be displayed in the reading pane. open the item to read its
contents."
Could you give me an example URL with active content which worked for that?

thx - cheers

Hobbes is referring to the fact that an Outlook custom form with code behind
it (now or in the past) does not display in the reading pane. Removing a
particular MAPI property (Outlook Spy shows it as a named property with ID
0x8510 and GUID {00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}) allows the item body
to show in the reading pane. Unfortunately, I'm having no luck using CDO to
get this proeprty and remove it yet.
