Is this forwarded email real?

[SG-IT]

Hi,

I have this email forwarded to me, but I need to confirm the previous mail
was really sent out. Can anyone here tell me how to confirm this? Do the
header keep a chain of receivers? I have produce the email but have replaced
the names for privacy sake. My main doubt is the "KIM;" in the previous
email. Is this possible in outlook or someone edited the header? I cannot
make outlook leave a ; after senting the email.

Don't even think about it. Just delete.

Well this particular email triggered some workflow issues in our company.
This is the first time we suspect someone is editing the email header and use
it in their reports. Hope someone will shed some light on how to confirm an
email was actually sent.

As you received all data in the message body; this could have been
easily faked - names, dates, subject, text.

The only thing that cannot (easily) be faked are the email headers in
the message you received; here you can find the IP address from where
the message really originated.

Thank you for your reply. Yes you are right and I would like to know how to
get to the email headers. The case is:

A send an email to B.
A then forward the sent email to C.
At C inbox, how can C view the header to confirm the email was sent to B?
Appreciate all your help.

Thank you for your reply. Yes you are right and I would like to know

A send an email to B.
A then forward the sent email to C.
At C inbox, how can C view the header to confirm the email was sent
to B? Appreciate all your help.

There's no way to tell that from the message headers. You cannot assure the
message took the path from A to B to C while examining it in C's Inbox.
