"defaults" is simply a Mac OS X command-line tool that allows you to set
preferences from the command line. It doesn't let you set preferences
that applications don't support, but does let you set some preferences
that are not included in the GUI Preferences windows of some
applications (often referred to as "hidden preferences"). You can get a
good idea of which hidden preferences are available by using the Secrets
preference pane, which connects to a community-supported and sourced
online database of hidden preference settings for many Mac applications:

There aren't many hidden preferences for Preview, though. So you're
bound to be disappointed:

You still can't figure out how to fix your news client I see:
