How to show the full header of an e-mail
In this section, we will show you how to expand the headers of your incoming e-mail, so you can see the full headers. This is helpful for viewing all of the senders information, and is needed to send to our Policy Department so that we may attempt to take some action.Select your e-mail client:
- Eudora E-mail Client
- MS Internet Mail
- Netscape 3.0 Mail
- Netscape Messenger 4.0 and 4.5
- Pegasus E-mail Client
Once the message is open you will see the Tool Bar. Click the 'Blah, Blah, Blah' button from the Tool Bar, and the headers will appear. Once opened the header information will be forwarded with the message body to the proper individuals.
Open the desired message, and then select 'File' from the menu options at the top of the screen. From the new options select 'Properties', and a box should appear. The header information is contained in the 'Details' field. Note: If you are sending a message to a Postmaster and are required to include header information, you must cut and paste it.
Once Netscape Mail is open, select 'Options' from the pull down menu. Then select 'headers', and then 'Show All Headers' from the menus.
Netscape Messenger 4.0 and 4.5
In Netscape Messenger click the "View" menu, pull down to the "Header" listing, then go over and click on "All". Once this is clicked all headers in the message that is showing should be displayed. Header information must be copied via <Ctrl><C> then pasted into a new message.
Before or after you open the message click on 'Reader' and then select 'Show All Headers'.(You can also use 'Ctrl+H' as a shortcut.) The header information that is displayed must be copied, then pasted in a new e-mail if you are forwarding it on to your network administrator or Policy Department. Highlight the first line, move the mouse to the last line, hold the shift key down and click the last line of the header. This will highlight all the lines inbetween the two that you clicked on. Once highlighted, use the copy and paste buttons on the toolbar to add this info to a new message.
