My ISP who is not familiar with SM asked me to find out how to open an incoming spam message in order to track the servers it passed through.
Please help. Tks

Re: Tracking a spam message
Mark the spam mail and press Ctrl + U or choose message source in View -> Message Source
You can also view the complete header by View -> Headers -> All

Re: Tracking a spam message
They want to track it? Well... Don't open it - just send it to them as attachment:ruta wrote:My ISP who is not familiar with SM asked me to find out how to open an incoming spam message in order to track the servers it passed through.

They are professionals. They know how to handle with SPAM message in secure way. They shouldn't ask user to open such message. Never ever...
EDIT: Oh, well! If you want to help them then you can save message as a file: don't open message (with LMB) just click RMB and from context menu choose "Save As..." and save as a file (without changing its name). Archive file as a e.g. ZIP and send to your ISP as normal attachment.

Ctrl + U did not work, perhaps because my platform is Apple's MacBook Pro, not PC. However the alternatives worked very well for me.
Tks again

Tks. I tried attachment, but that was not good enough for them. I finally accepted Hardy's suggestion which seems more straight forward.
Tks again for helping.
