Well, given the fact that too many emails these days are HTML type;

javascript and/or other scripting languages due to default settings.
The most likely suspect is scripting of some kind, which /may/ come in
to play to render the HTML email content when previewed. It is also
possible that other scripting languages, particularly on Winblows will
be automatically ran during preview.
There have been numerous bugs with LookOut (otherwise known as
Outlook), running scripts and having other vulnerabilities due to
preview pane being open. I try to encourage people NOT to have a
preview pane, but people will still do what they want even if you tell
them it is potentially dangerous.
Kind Regards
