How Can I Expand The Headers?

[Arden Robinson]

I aplogize for the crosspost.

But, I received what I believe to be a virus from an unsolicited source. I
contacted their ISP and they stated I should forward the message with
expanded headers to them.

How can I do this in Outlook XP?

Thanks In Advance,
Arden

In outlook, unfortunately, you'll have to open the file (taking risks
that that implies, I guess), and Menu: View/Options see Internet Headers
at bottom. Copy these and paste into the mail you return to ISP.

In other email clients you can forward mail with "expanded" headers,
e.g. Mozilla. Outlook tries it's best to hide all this from you.

Thanks Rob! That was too easy!

Don't open the file! Open the EMAIL. Make sure you don't open any
attachments.

Instead of opening the email, you can also right-click on it and
choose options. One of the pieces of information shown is "Internet
Headers." (This works on my Outlook 2000.)

Excellent point. Right mouse click, "options" gets you there.
I don't know, though, if Outlook still "opens" the email to the same affect.

I guess I should have said "delete the file and forget about it."

That's probably the best advice to the unasked question.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Sorry, just now getting back to this. Yes, I had right clicked it, Outlook
and my virus scanner deleted the attached file so I didn't have a copy to
send to the offender's ISP. But, no harm was done either.

Thanks for your input....
