I have Windows 7 with two monitors.
Anyway to get the detail panel to show on a second monitor?

oh, After that, you have to open a message, drag it to the second monitor, close it, then the next time you open a new message it should go there again.

I wasn't asking about opening an email but when it is displayed. There are three sections on the screen that are displayed - the folder, the headers and the details. I would like to get the Details to show on second monitor.
"Details".
What version of TB? You're using win7. Can you use the snipit tool and markup a screenshot of the Details so I can see what you are referring to? It kind of sounds like the preview pane, but I'm not sure.

using version 3.1.4 of TB, and windows 7.
When you go to View / Layout there are three option - Classic, Wide and Vertical. Each of these have three panels - Folder, Headers, and Detail (actual email/message). What I'm looking to do is have the Detail display in another monitor, as I browse, not when I open it

I don't believe that is possible but I'll take a look when I get in front of TB later today.
