Yahoo does not let you get the entire source of the message, but it will let you see the headers. Unfortunately this is not good enough in general. But to get the headers you can right click on the message and choose "View Full Header" or access the same options from the "Actions" drop-down menu. | Yahoo does not let you get the entire source of the message, but it will let you see the headers.

=== Outlook.com/Hotmail.com/mail.live.com UI === | |||
* Select the message in question in the three-pane UI. The message should be displayed in the preview pane. | |||
* Click the big ellipsis ("...") button at the top of the web page in the menu. It will be to the right of the "Move to" and "Categories" buttons. | |||
* Click on "view message source" in the pop-up menu that shows up. It should be at the bottom of the list. | |||
* A new tab/window will open up with the raw source of the message. Copy and paste the contents of the message to a text editor (notepad, gedit, vim, emacs). The key thing is that we don't want a Word document or a PDF with the contents of the e-mail in it. Just a text file. The extension doesn't matter but .eml is convention. | |||
** For copying and pasting, usually with something like: "control-a" to select all, then "control-c" to copy it works pretty wel. | |||
* If necessary, perform any redactions you want to perform | |||
* Save the file | |||
