How can I view email headers in different email applications?

The email files are in an html format. The objective is to save the file in html format. This can be done as follows:

1. Open the email message you want to save, as if you were reading it
2. Near the top, at the bottom of the To: / From: section, click on Details to reveal the header

You can also copy and paste this information

3. Move mouse cursor to the top tool bar, click on File
4. Click Save as...
5. Identify which directory you would like to save the file in
6. Provide a name of the file in the 'file name' box
7. Select the 'type' as 'html' if possible. If your browser does not show 'html' type, just select the type as 'All Files' and type .html to the end of the file name generated in step 6, such as email.html
8. Press Save

To forward the file to someone else (law enforcement, lawyer, ISP):

1. Move cursor to the top tool bar and click on Write
2. Insert the email address you want to forward the file to
3. Type any further information in the body of the message
4. To add the html file you just generated in the above steps, click on Attachments
5. When the Attachments Window opens, click on Attach
6. Find the file in the directory window and highlight the file name
7. Click open
8. Then OK
9. Now send the email by selecting Send now

The message and attached file have now been sent. Please be aware that AOL only keeps messages in your INBOX for two weeks, unless you save it as NEW or save it in a separate folder in your AOL directory on your computer.

Additionally, a screen name of TOSEMAIL1 has been identified as a source of help for unacceptable email in the AOL system. Just enter tosemail1 in the 'send to' screen. If you are outside of the AOL environment, the address is tosemail1@aol.com.

The default option is that full headers appear at the BOTTOM of each received message.

When reading an email message, look at the toolbar just above the message itself. There should be a button that reads BLAH BLAH BLAH in black and white. Click on this and the full headers will appear. Then select all, copy and paste into a new message to send to the offender's ISP, or click on the forward button and the full headers will automatically be placed in the new email message.

In ELM, you can display the headers for the current message with the H command.
