In Imail, how do I display and send the full headers of an email message?

Note: At Indiana University, Imail uses Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) for its web interface. Many Exchange OWA interface features are also available in Imail. OWA is a secure web site with two distinct interfaces, depending on which web browser you use. UITS highly recommends the Premium interface (available through Internet Explorer in Windows) over the Light interface (available through all other browsers or operating systems) for the optimal OWA experience. For more information, see In Outlook Web Access (OWA), what are the "Premium" and "Light" interfaces?

In Imail, to send the full headers of an email message you have received, you must 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 Reading your Imail or Umail mail using a desktop email client

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:

1. Double-click the mail message to open it in its own window.
   
   
2. Click the message details button on the toolbar (the envelope with a small document over the bottom right-hand 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:

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

Important: Because much of the information shared via email to conduct university business is protected by privacy laws and other institutional policies, student employees must use their Webmail (Cyrus) accounts to conduct university business. Imail and Umail accounts are hosted by vendors external to IU; therefore you cannot use them to conduct university business. IU students who are employed by the university may use their Imail or Umail accounts to send student-related mail, but must use their Webmail accounts for work-related mail. For example, associate instructors may use Imail or Umail to send mail about academic work to their professors and other students, but must use Webmail to send work-related mail to professors for whom they work and students whom they teach.
