is it possible to view the contents of a hotmail e-mail without actually opening it

i have a feeling it's from a old friend but don't want to open it and find out it's not and get phished

Phishing requires user interaction beyond opening it.

oh ok so it's safe to open any e-mail as long as i don't click anything within

yes, if it looks suspicious delete it. You can get anything from opening and email apart from being mildly annoyed at getting spam
