Display more lines in the Outlook Message Preview

By default, only one line of text displays in an Outlook message preview, however, you change that to display up to three lines of text.

Under the View tab on the Ribbon, in the Arrangement group, click the Message Preview button and select the number of lines you’d like to display. At the prompt, decide whether you want the preview to display only in the folder you have active, or in all your mailbox folders.
