I am receiving spam which I believe is being sent to one of my several possible e-mail addresses. If so, I can deal with the problem by removing the relevant account. However, I am unable to determine whether this is so because the messages do not give the To: address, with or without 'Message Header' enabled. Is there any way other way of viewing the To: address in Outlook, eg by displaying the full message Header, including transmission paths from source to my ISP? I can do this when using some other E-mail clients such as Turnpike.

RIght-click the message and choose Options. You should be able to see the
INternet headers there and determine the receiving address, if it wasn't
sent via BCC.

Many thanks Brian. I can now see what I need and the spam is all to one address.

Brian,

Is there any way to have this appear automatically in the message? I have
two smtp addresses bound to the same mailbox and it would be nice to know
which one is being sent to. The right click, Options seems a bit tedious for
checking each message.

I've searched online help and the boards but haven't really found anything.

Use rules to set flags or categories based on words in the header or acct or
create a custom view that colors message based the the value of the To
field.

I don't know a sure-fire method of displaying that info.

I have tried the flagging method but since the GAL entry resolves both smtp
addresses to the same name it flags everything in the inbox based on the GAL
name. Further research seems to point to having to programatically create
something via an add-in. The developers forum on
http://office-outlook.com/outlook-fo....php/m/269513/ points to a
method of doing it.

Thank you both for your input.
