How to View the Headers in Instructions for viewing headers with some of the more popular mail clients
Elm, Pine, and Mutt
Press "h" from the message selection menu to view the full headers of the currently selected message.
Hotmail
Go into "Options", "Preferences", and choose "Message headers". You'll want to choose the "Full" option to display Received: headers. "Advanced" will display that as well as MIME headers. Do note, however, that sometimes Hotmail has to press some previous generation mailservers into service, and messages sent through those mailservers won't show any headers no matter what. :-(
Lotus Notes 4.6.x
Open the offending mail. Click on "Actions", then "Delivery information". Cut and paste the text from the bottom box, marked "Delivery information:".
Netscape Mail
Choose "OPTIONS" from the options menu bar. Listed as an option is "Show Headers". Choose full headers.
Outlook Express
Open the message. Choose "File" from the options menu bar. Listed as an option is "properties". Another window will open, showing two tabs. You want to choose the one titled "Details". Then cut and paste the headers into the message you want to forward.
Outlook 2000
Double click on the message to open it up, click on "View --> Options", and you will see the message headers in a box at the bottom of the window. You can copy/paste them from that window.
Pegasus
Choose "READER" from the options menu bar. Listed as an option is: "Show all Headers". This does not work for HTML messages, however. A workaround is to select the message properties, and de-selecting "Contains HTML data".
Thunderbird
Open the Email you want to view the headers for and Press CTRL + U
