Viewing Source for email messages in Outlook?
(I hope this is the right place to post this...)
In Outlook Express, I can right click a message to View Source. This not only reveals message headers, but the contents of the email message. This is handy for screening potentially junk emails. Is that functionality missing from Outlook 2000? I cannot find a way to do that in Outlook 2000, which seems strange. I can view message headers, but not the email body content in source view. I couldn't find anything in Outlook help when searching "view source". ~~~TIA for any assistance! Teelbee ~~~Teelbee |

Viewing Source for email messages in Outlook?
Outlook doesn't support viewing the full source - you'll need to copy and
paste it together. The reason is because Outlook began as the exchange client where there aren't headers and users typically don't look at them. Outlook 2003 has a registry key you can set to view source - http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/view_source.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "teelbee" wrote in message ...

Viewing Source for email messages in Outlook?
I don't like to open emails from people I'm unsure about,
so copy/paste wouldn't serve my purpose here. You see, using Outlook Exchange and viewing the full source was a safer way to confirm if a questionable message was junk mail or not. How odd that the "lite" version has that great functionality, but the full version doesn't. Oh, well. Thanks for clarifying that for me - I kept looking and looking for a way to do that, but now that I know it's futile, I can stop. ~~~Teelbee -----Original Message----- Outlook doesn't support viewing the full source - you'll need to copy and paste it together.

Viewing Source for email messages in Outlook?
Outlook is not a "full version" of Outlook Express.
