No preview when selecting multiple emails

When selecting multiple emails by holding the SHIFT and/or CTRL buttons, the Reading Pane doesn’t update to show the newly selected email. Instead, it still shows the first mail that I selected.

This makes evaluating and quickly scanning through an email to decide whether or not it should belong to my selection quite complicated.

Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail both have this feature and I usually used this method to quickly delete or move a lot of emails at once.

Is there a way to make this functionality work in Outlook as well?
