Disable the "POPUP" preview in Thunderbird

Hi All

After spending a considerable amount of time researching how to do this I have still come up empty handed. It seems to me that the preview window that pops up when you get a new message in the lower right hand corner is certainly a security issue. It is displaying parts of emails that I would not open and send to trash as it is spam anyway. I have already eliminated the preview message pane by using <F8> but want to get rid of that pop up preview pane as well. Please let me know how to do this. Thank you all so much in advance.

Currently I am running version 31.2.0
