Mission accomplished.

For anyone interested in doing the same, there is an AppleScript to  
toggle the preview pane here:

The author used Quicksilver to map it to a key, but it crashed  
constantly on my Mac Pro.  I found a program call FastScripts that  
does the trick nicely:

As a rule I abhor preview panes.  However that is the only way I know  
of in Mail to easily go to the next message while reading emails --  
about the only thing I miss from Entourage.
