Well, We use MS outlook98 and MS Exchange server here, and I can find no way of showing the mail headers. Nada. So I guess it is not a "decent mailer". What a surprize.
Given the (regretable) almost universal business adoption of MS products for office automation, it is probably a mistake to assume that just because the information is in the headers, that it is accessible (or even that the user is aware of it).

I think the issue is that headers are not someone thinks about when they are looking at a message, at least not your average person. They look at the message, and the basics that are provided (who, date, subject). The important things. Perhaps a 2 line footer at the end of messages is the way to go, perhaps not. --K On 12/6/2001 at 9:30 PM Brett W.
