Viewing outbound e-mails?

I'm using a program called Mister Lister for eBay which i use to mass-upload multiple guitar auctions at a time. When i load all my information into Mister Lister and submit the auctions to eBay all the program essentially does is e-mail eBay something (i can tell it's e-mailing because i see my Norton e-mail scanner pop-up everytime i submit a collection). Is there any way i can trap this information to see what it's submitting?

TIA
 
Does Mister Lister require you to configure your SMTP SERVER? If so, I suppose you can do the following:

1) Install an SMTP SERVER on your PC (and configure YOUR SMTP server to send its data to your ISP's SMTP server)
2) Configure YOUR SMTP SERVER to save the data that passes thru it (hopefully that's an option of SMTP servers)
3) Configure Mister Lister to use YOUR SMTP SERVER instead of your ISP's FTP server

If Mister Lister doesn't provide an option for configuring SMTP servers, a packet sniffer of some sort will be able to show you what data is being sent. I've never used one of those though, so you'll have to research those as well.
 
If you run a program like MS's Network Monitor you can capture all the outgoing TCP/IP packets, SMTP uses plain text so it shouldn't be hard to read. Unless of course the messages are encoded / encrypted.

Where can i download MS's Network Monitor? Also, Mister lister doesn't require that i configure the SMTP server.
