Outlook 2007 Slow To Open Messages With Attachments

I recently had to reload my Vista machine and this weekend I installed SP1 for Office 2007. This week I've noticed that Outlook 2007 was very slow to open messages that had attachments. After much digging on the Internet, I finally saw a comment from someone that mentioned turning off Attachment Preview to speed up Outlook. So, I went to

Tools -> Trust Center -> Attachment Handling

and turned off attachment preview. This solved my problem!

Thank you Lazy Web!
