Viewing Headers in Outlook 2000/2002
This page has instructions on viewing headers in Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002. We divided the instructions into the following sections:
To view headers and copy header information:
- Right-click the message header and select Options.
- The Message Options window will open. You can see the headers in the Internet Headers box. To copy the headers, right-click in the Internet Headers box and choose Select All from the drop-down menu.
- Right-click the header information again and choose Copy from the drop-down menu.
- Close the Message Options window.
To paste header information into a message:
- To open a message to be forwarded, either highlight the message and click the Forward button
- or -
Right-click the message header and select Forward as shown below.
- Right-click the body of the message above the original message and choose Paste. This will paste the headers into the message.
- Forward the message to the appropriate domain. You'll find additional information on fighting SPAM on our Fighting Junk E-mail (aka SPAM) page.
The SPAM used in this example is NOT one that should necessarily be forwarded to abuse@att.net. If the SPAM was sent using an AT&T Worldnet account or refers to a page hosted by AT&T Worldnet Service, THEN, you should forward the message to abuse@att.net.
Note: If the SPAM got past the Brightmail E-mail Screener, you should also forward the message (including the headers) to missed-spam@att.net. You probably won't receive an acknowledgment of any forwarded messages, but be assured they are used to build better rules to help improve the E-mail Screener.
