How do I view the message headers?

[jm]

I have Outlook XP. I can pull up a message and go to view > options
and see Internet Headers. There are none. Now, the message is within
the same organization and uses the same Exchange server, so I don't
know if anything is supposed to be in there or not.

If we are on the same mail system, using the same Exchange server, can
I pull up headers, or something in Outlook to show me where the user
sent the message from (like the IP Address of the user, etc.)

Thanks.

If a message is kept within an Exchange organization there are no
Internet headers since the message was never sent over the Internet.

Is there a way to see what computer sent the original message?

not from the client. you could use logs and message tracking to trace it.

Not the computer but the mailbox.

From the Outlook object model you can see MailItem.SenderName. From
CDO or MAPI code you can see PR_CREATOR_NAME and
PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS. There is a code sample at
http://www.slovaktech.com/code_samples.htm#FromAddress that shows how
to get the sender's email address using CDO 1.21 code.
