I aplogize for the crosspost.

But, I received what I believe to be a virus from an unsolicited source. I
contacted their ISP and they stated I should forward the message with
expanded headers to them.

How can I do this in Outlook XP?

Thanks In Advance,
Arden

In other email clients you can forward mail with "expanded" headers,
e.g. Mozilla. Outlook tries it's best to hide all this from you.

Don't open the file! Open the EMAIL. Make sure you don't open any
attachments.

Instead of opening the email, you can also right-click on it and
choose options. One of the pieces of information shown is "Internet
Headers." (This works on my Outlook 2000.)

Excellent point. Right mouse click, "options" gets you there.
I don't know, though, if Outlook still "opens" the email to the same affect.

I guess I should have said "delete the file and forget about it."

That's probably the best advice to the unasked question.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Sorry, just now getting back to this. Yes, I had right clicked it, Outlook
and my virus scanner deleted the attached file so I didn't have a copy to
send to the offender's ISP. But, no harm was done either.

Thanks for your input....
