Displaying Message Headers in Outlook Express

Sometimes it's useful to display the full information for emails, useful for tracking delivery problems or for tracing the origin of spam messages. To do this you may need to view the full message headers for an email received.

Click the right mouse button over the message you want to examine, and click on the properties menu option, shown in figure 1 (below)
