Display message headers in Outlook?

[Dooling37]

Hello All -

I have been using Outlook 2002 for a short while, and I'm mostly pleased with it. However, there is one thing that *seems* to be missing that I desperately would like to find -- a way to display the message headers. When I refer to headers, I mean like:

---------------------------------------
Return-Path: <user@a.com>
Received: from www.a.com ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx])
by with ESMTP id
for <someone@mail.a.com>; Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:54:16 -0500 (EST)
Received: from (IDENT:[])
by (Switch-2.1.0/Switch-2.1.0) with ESMTP id
for <>; Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:54:10 -0500 (EST)
Received: from HELPDESK ([134.126.71.33])
(authenticated)
by () with ESMTP id
for <>; Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:57:20 -0500
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:54:14 -0500
From:
To:
Subject: wednesdays
Message-ID:
X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.0.8 (Win32)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline
-----------------------------------------------------

(taken from another email client). I'm not referring to just To, From, Subject.

Does anyone know if there is a way to display these in Outlook. I've tried the Help index and search here at AT with no luck so far...maybe it's time to look for a new client with this capability. Outlook is a bit of a memory hog anyways, (13MB on my system). I realize this isn't a huge deal, but I just like skimming these headers every now and then.

Thanks alot for any help in Outlook -- or suggestions for other clients!

You'll need to double click on the email message that you want to see - a new window should open that has the email from which you wish to view the headers.

Then go to VIEW->Options

A new window opens and the headers should be there....

Hope this helps,

I LOVE how microsoft made this feature so NON-intuitive. It took me forever to figure this out on my own a while ago!

That's what I was looking for...not exactly easy/convenient to be sure, but at least it's there.

Thanks alot!
