How to view the Sender's Info (Headers) in Thunderbird
I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 under Win98se. I only use it for email.
(I use Agent for Newsgroups). I have a relative who sends me emails, who is clueless about the working of a computer. Sometimes they email me from their smartphone, other times its from their computer. I looked at the settings in Thunderbird, so I can view the headers, which I assume will tell me if they are using the computer and with what software for the email, or, if they are using their phone. All I see is the actual email text and photos if they attach them. How can I view the header info on TB 2.x to see what software they are using? Thanks |

The menu items across the top of the Thunderbird window are File Edit View Go Message Tools (etc) Under View the 6'th item is Headers. There are 2 choices for Headers: - All - Normal Select All to see the full email headers. Email headers are becoming increasingly long and complex these days, especially if the sender is using Gmail, Outlook/Live/Hotmail, Yahoo (soon to be called "Altaba" apparently). There's no absolute yes or no answer as to if you're going to be able to know what the sender used to send their email to you. But now you know how to view the headers. Thanks !!!! |
