How to find message source

[Jorge Cervantes]

With Outlook Express, right click on a message. Then, properties >message
source would allow me to identify the source of the message. That's how I
have been trying to find scams.

With Outlook07, I could not figure out how. Today I got a suspicious
message from Paypal. I could not figure out how to find its source.
Please enlighten me. Jorge

Open the message, in the Actions section do Other Actions-View Source.

I followed your instruction but under Other Actions, View source was not
available.
I tried all listed options under Other Actions, nothing allowed me to see
the email source.
I am using Office07 under WinXP Pro SP3.

Outlook doesn't allow you so see the raw source of a message as Outlook
Express does. You can see the headers by right-clicking the message in the
Inbox list and choosing Options.

To be just a bit more specific, right click on the message and select Message
Options... Then look in the Internet headers field at the bottom of the
dialog window.
