I'm not sure I understand the question. Outlook 2003 has no setting to allow the standard form to be used in preview and a custom form in the Inspector. (Outlook 2007 can do this, BTW, with form regions.) Whatever form is used depends on the value of the item's MessageClass property at that moment.
