Outlook should allow copying email header as plain text

[Guest]

Sometimes we need to enter the email content as description into our
database. we prefer to include the email header information in the
description so that the date/sender/receiver/etc is available in the
description. But now the header information (especially field labels) is
displayed separately from the email content and cannot be copied easily. It
would be nice to support copying the whole header as text.

I found copying the headers quite easy. I right-clicked on a message and
chose Options. I then clicked in the Internet Headers box, right clicked
and chose Select All. I then right-clicked and chose Copy. I could then
paste the headers into any other application. Doesn't that work for you?
