I cannot see my preview window

Hello Thunderbird friends,

I am new to Thunderbird (like it so far) and for the first few days, when I highlighted a message in the Subject column, I would see a preview of its contents in a column to the right. Now that's gone and I cannot figure out how to get it back.

Thank you.

Try pressing F8. That toggles the Message Pane on and off.
