Sorry, hit the wrong button and replied to you directly instead of the 
list, so now here again:
At the point in time where you wrote this I tried that and it did not 
work (Putting \PreviewMacro*{\enuml} in
the preamble); now, I tried putting it in the document itself instead of 
the preable (so right after \begin{document})
and somehow it works. Does anyone have an idea, why the command seems 
not to work
when put in the preamble and only when put in the document body?

Regards,

PS: I tried this on GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) 
(compiled it myself) and on the same version
compiled under linux (Archlinux); both versions have the same result in 
only previewing correctly, if \PreviewMacro
is put inside the document body...
