Hi Tanstaafl

Not what I am referring to, I think you have misunderstood my content. 
Agreed and I know the headers (or should I say mail body code) are 
always present with the emails. What I am referring to is that the 
header information is hidden by default, but one can reveal this hidden 
info to trace where the mail has come from or going to. It's used by 
security officers like myself and online Service Providers to trace 
emails, spam, malicious content etc.

if you ever launch a complaint to your SP over spam mail received, they 
ask you to send a copy of the email with "All" headers revealed. In 
Thunderbird this is a relatively easy thing to do, just two clicks, as I 
explained to Tom in my email. In MS Outlook a bit more involved "Email 
opened in new window - expand Tags toolbar lower right (you will also 
see "Follow up" and "Mark as unread" option there) - Options - Internet 
headers.

What I was simply replying to Tom, was how to reveal the headers to see 
if the email was spam. And no if your headers are in their normal 
state/setting, hidden by default, they are never revealed in any emails 
sent, that is the body text of the sender. Only if you leave the option 
to reveal the headers on, will the sent emails show all of the code and 
make the email look like garbage.
