-===== How to Get Full Headers From Ms Programs and Other Mail Clients =====
-[[:faq|FAQ]] > [[faq:email|Email]] > [[faq:email#Email Client (Local and Web-based)|Email Client (Local and Web-based)]] > How to Get Full Headers From Email Clients
-Locate the email clients that you are using and follow the steps below to get the full email headers.\\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-==== Entourage ====
-  - Select the message in the Inbox.
-  - Go to View: Source.
-  - A new window will contain full headers and message text.
-  - This is the easiest way to copy and paste for reporting.
-  - Alternately, go to Edit:Preferences:Mail and News.
-  - Under the View tab, there is a checkbox for Show Internet Headers.
-  - This option is a bit less useful, as it separates the headers from the body.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=== Exchange ===
-To read (and copy) the header using Microsoft Exchange, do the following:
-  - Open the message in Exchange to view it. Choose File then Properties then Internet. The header will be visible and will be highlighted. Simply right click and copy it. Then paste on the front of the message and forward it to abuse department or WHOA Internet Safety Advocate (ISA).
-  - In some versions of Exchange, you'll need to go to the File Menu > Properties > Details > Message Source.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=== Internet Explorer ===
-  - Choose "Properties" under "File". Click on the "Details" tab. This will show the full header.
-  - Now right click and choose "Select All". Right click again and choose "Copy". Start a new message, right click again, and choose "Paste". This will paste the entire header into this new (and temporary) message. Copy the header from the new message and paste it back onto the original. The paste command doesn't work directly on the original message.\\ This isn't elegant, but it seems to work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=== Internet News ===
-For those people who use Microsoft's Internet News, simply (while viewing the message) click on File, Properties, then click on the Details tab. Copy the information and paste it into a new email, then copy and paste the body of the message below the headers in the new email and send that message to the abuse department or WHOA ISA.\\

-=== Outlook Express 4 and 5 for Windows ===
-**First method:**\\
-There's an even easier solution to expanding Microsoft's Outlook Express headers so that you can copy and paste it to another window. You need to be viewing the message in its own window or in a preview pane, then:\\
-  - Right click on the message and select Properties.
-  - Choose the Details tab and select the Message Source Button.
-  - Select All (CTRL + A) and Copy (CTRL + C).
-  - Close the Message Source window and the Properties window.
-  - Select New Mail and position your cursor in the body of the email.
-  - Paste (CTRL + V) the copied information.
-  - Send the email to the abuse department or WHOA ISA.
-//Thanks to Andrew Kuebler for this.//
-**Second method:**\\
-Here's a tip to simplify the process of getting full headers when using Outlook Express 5 and Windows 98 (don't know about other versions of OE).\\
-Instead of selecting the message, right-clicking properties, clicking details, then message source, simply select the message and press Ctrl-F3. Then press Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C. (Ctrl-F3 takes care of all the steps necessary to get to the full header. Ctrl-A selects all the text and Ctrl-C copies it to the clipboard.)\\
-Now start a new message or just forward the original message (which takes less time than opening a new one) to the abuse department or WHOA ISA.\\
-//Thanks to Rainbow Joe for this information.//
-**If you have disabled the preview pane (which is a good idea):**\\
-Using the keyboard:\\
-  * Highlight the message in the folder
-  * Press alt & enter - this will open a message information window
-  * Press Ctrl & Tab - this changes to the "Details" tab
-  * Press Alt & M - the opens the message source
-  * Press Ctrl & A - to select all the text
-  * Press Ctrl & C - to copy the selected text to the clipboard
-  * Press Alt & F4 - to close the message source window
-  * Press the Esc keay - to close the information window
-  * Now, open a new message.
-  * Address the message to the WHOA ISA who is working with you or to the abuse department to whom you wish to report the message.
-  * Move your cursor to the body of the new message.
-  * Press Ctrl & V to paste the information from the clipboard to the body of the new message.
-  * Send the message.
