In a suspected fraud email where an email asked for my
password for a password account.I immediately notified my
account and The account asked me to forward the email to
them with full headers.I would like to know how to do
this.Thank You,Fred
If using Outlook Express, the way I would do it (may be
others):
1. Set tools/options/read "read all meail in text only).
this opens mail
in text not html (just in case it was html). (if HTML Mail
this may be a
tad risky if they include HTML code which opens a special
file on their
web site coded to your email which then indicates that your
email client
opened the email which then implies the email address is
"good".)
2. Menu File | Properties then Tab: Details then Button
"Message Source".
3. Select all the text by swiping contents. Ctrl-C to copy
to clipboard.
4. Open new mail, and then Ctrl V to paste in this text.
Send email
with some sort of explanation at top.
Other email clients, e.g. Mozilla, make this easier.
