Message Properties

[Buford T. Justice]

In Outlook Express, you can right-click on a message then left-click on
PROPERTIES to see what e-mail program the sender used and such. Why doesn't
Outlook 2003 do this? Is there a way to get the info?

It's the same. Look for x-mailer

If in the Inbox, right-click on the subject of the message and choose
Options. If in a reading window (i.e., the message is open), click
View>Options.

 

[Buford T. Justice]

That brings up the Message Options window. It doesn't tell me what the
e-mail program the sender used.

It isn't the same, there is no property listing when right-clicking on a
message.

Choose Options and scroll through the Header of the message.

Well, it shows all the Internet headers that were on the message, which is
what I thought you wanted.

 

[Buford T. Justice]

I don't know what I was doing earlier, but now it works fine. The Internet
headers window at the bottom of Message Options was blanked out. Nothing
was there. Now it works fine. Weird.

Thanks,
BTJustice

 

[Buford T. Justice]

I guess I was doing something wrong earlier. That works just fine.

I was doing nothing wrong! All of the messages I imported have no Internet
headers for some reason. I guess they were removed during the import
process.

Because they were imported which is not equal to sending a message over the
Internet and therefore it doesn't get an Internet Header. An export from OE
to Outlook may preserve the headers though; I can't verify this at the
moment.

Also, why are the headers to my messages not saved or viewable when I go to
OPTIONS for e-mails I have sent?

Thanks,
BTJustice

 

[BillR [MVP]]

Right-click and Options has a section for Internet Headers.

 

[Buford T. Justice]

I didn't think of that. But it doesn't say what my e-mail program is which
it should know though.

Thanks,
BTJustice
