How do I get the header to start the trace email process

Each electronic messaging program will vary as to how you get to the message options. I'll cover the basics to start the trace...the rest is up to you.

• Outlook - Right click the message while it's in the inbox and choose Message Options. A window will open with the headers in the bottom of the window.

• Windows Live - Right click the correspondence while it's in the inbox, choose Properties, then click the Details tab.

• GMail - Open the correspondence. In the upper right corner of the email you'll see the word Reply with a little down arrow to the right. Click the down arrow and choose Show Original.

• Hotmail - Right click the memo and choose View Message Source.

• Yahoo! - Right click the note and choose View Full Headers.

• AOL - Click Action and then View Message Source.
