Outlook uses Internet Explorer as its renderer for HTML email. Disabling
the preview pane in Outlook would prevent it from rendering HTML mail
with the Internet Explorer engine which contained multiple security
issues.
Applying the same logic to a completely different application, such as
Evolution, makes no sense. Unless you can pinpoint a specific issue with
libgtkhtml that would render it more susceptible to buffer overflows
than evolution itself when it processes email, there is no gain in
disabling the preview plane.
