In Imail, to send the full headers of an email message you have received, use the OWA Premium interface. If you cannot access the Premium interface from your computer, you can configure a desktop email client to access your account, and then follow full header sending instructions appropriate to your client; see Configuring an email client for Imail or Umail.

Note: OWA now has the same functionality across major browsers in most cases; see In Outlook Web App (OWA), what are the "Premium" and "Light" interfaces? For more information on using OWA, with your Inbox displayed, click ? (the question mark) at the top right.

In the Imail OWA Premium interface, to send full headers, first display the headers, and then insert them into the body of an email message.

Displaying full headers

To display full message headers:

Double-click the mail message to open it in its own window.
Click the message details button on the toolbar (the envelope with a small document over the bottom right corner of the icon).

The message headers are at the bottom of the window, in a box labeled "Headers:" or "Internet headers:".

Inserting headers into a message

To insert the headers into an email message:

Select all the headers by clicking and dragging the cursor from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the header text.
Press Ctrl-c to copy the headers.
Create a new email message, click in its main text window, and then press Ctrl-v to paste the headers.

Important: Many students are employed in some capacity by Indiana University and use email in their employment, either to communicate with their co-workers and supervisors or to carry out their job responsibilities. Because Imail and Umail accounts are hosted by vendors external to IU, student employees may use these accounts to conduct university business only if they do not receive or transmit any sensitive data via these accounts. See Student use of email for work-related purposes.
