Bob:

No, I see this as a deficiency in Entourage.  If you choose menu item View
-> Source, you do get *all* the internet headers but not just the main ones.

Attached below is the text of an AppleScript that will put a copy of a
selected message with the main headers on the clipboard.  If you paste the
following AppleScript syntax into a new window in the Script Editor and then
save it as a script in the folder "Entourage Script Menu Items" (which is in
your "Microsoft User Data" folder), you will have ready access whenever you
want a copy of the message and main headers.
