Outlook Express settings

Just started a new job and they are still using Outlook express.
It appears someone has 'fiddled' and they have lost the heading that shows who emails are from. It just shows 'subject'.
Can anyone tell me if it is easy to get this back?
So to be clear, we have the 'folders' column on the LHS and then a split pane but with 'subject' rather than the 'from' details in the RHS.
Help!:eek:

View, Layout, Tick required, Apply, OK

Thanks espresso but I must be being really thick as I can't see what to 'tick'.
If I tick the 'contacts' box it just puts contacts down at bottom right?
Am I missing something?
Just trying to get the first column (other than the flag and paperclip) to show who the message is from?
Sorry to be a pain.

Right-click on 'Subject' and select 'Columns...'. Tick boxes as required.

Right click on the Subject heading, select Columns and then tick what you want to display in what order e.g. move up or down, then OK.

Not sure if the opposite is true though. Outlook Express!? I guess if it works don't break it...

Think yourself lucky, it could be Lotus Notes and keep crashing.
