Configuring your E-mail Client to Show Extended Headers

Eudora Light for Windows
To retrieve the extended headers from an e-mail message received in Eudora Light (version 1.5.x), select Tools from the menu bar and click on Options...

Figure 1. Eudora Light (before v3.0): Showing Extended Headers...

Having selected Options... , the Options Dialogue box will appear. From the Category list on the left, select the Fonts&Display -- you will see a series of checkbox options-- to show the extended headers described in this article, you need only make sure the Show all headers (even the ugly ones) is selected. The next time you open a new mail message the full headers should be readily available. Keep in mind, if you are like most casual e-mail readers you probably don't want to see all this techspeak mumble jumble every time your best friend writes you to see how your doing. To get back to just the basic headers, you need only to uncheck the same box. The next time you open a new message things should be right back the way they were.

Eudora Light v3.0 for Windows
If you happen to be using the newest version of Eudora Light or Eudora Pro for Windows, showing extended headers is simply a matter of clicking the BLAH button on your incoming message's toolbar. Clicking it again will hide the extended headers.

 

Eudora Light for the Mac OS
To show all headers on an incoming e-mail message in Eudora Light for the Mac OS, click the BLAH button on that message's toolbar.

To hide extra headers, simply click the BLAH button again.

Netscape Mail
To retrieve the extended headers from an e-mail message received in Netscape Mail (version 3.x), from the Options Menu check Show Headers | All. (You must have the Netscape Mail window open to have this option). You should see the full headers immdiately in Netscape's mail window. Keep in mind, if you are like most casual e-mail readers you probably don't want to see all this techspeak muble jumble every time your best friend writes you to see how you're doing. To return to the simple headers you are probably used to, you need only go back and check Show Headers | Normal from the same Options menu. Other versions of Netscape Mail have similar options. For example, in Netscape 2.x, you need only select Show All Headers.
