How, in Outlook 2010, can I view email headers *without* displaying the
message contents? I am receiving a LOT of phishing email lately so I'd
like to be able to view the headers when the sender is, say, Bank of
America. Not!

That kills the message display, but I still want to see all the header
information - the path. ?

I found an answer that works. If you add Message Options to the Quick
Access toolbar, you can view Internet headers without opening a message.
Now I can see all the phishing crap sent from someone with an email
address (if not spoofed) in Nauru.

Hi, Jason.

> If you add Message Options to the Quick Access toolbar...

HOW do you do that?

I know how to see the Message Headers by right-clicking on the message in
the Message List, but I don't see a way to add that to the QAT. Long ago I
added the Options menu - the one familiar from OE/WLM, but this doesn't get
me closer to the Message Properties and from there to the Details.

So, how DO you do that?
