[lug] Reading e-mail headers.

[Tony Dyson]

You need to be able to see the full header. Mail readers handle this 
differently.

AFAIR, with Outlook Express, somewhere under the File >> Properties >> 
??? menu tree, there is an option to view the message source (as in 
"HTML Source"). This shows the full header, & you have to track back 
through the sending path. The mail server from which you download will 
be at the top/beginning of the list. The originating server will be at 
the bottom/end.

My understanding is that most spammers still aren't able to fake that 
address, but an expert may care to jump in here ...
