Under "options" for a new message, especially a ForWarDed message

What's wrong with "View->Headers->All"??
(Off to check what a "419" might be!!)
Hopefully, your Google result has already divulged what the common
usage of "419" is by now. :-)
What I'm curious about is why Rick wants to *send* one!
I give up! RFC 2616 ends status codes in the 400 series with 417.
What is 419?
How about this? :-)

When you REceive one of these scams you MAY forward (send) it to
[email protected] but it is only useful if you send full headers.
In other words :-) what I was asking is a one-time-only "full
headers" option for such forwards.
Ah, I see now. Well, I can think of the following as a pretty easy
workaround (at least for me). While viewing the email:
View> Headers> All
Click Forward
Content should have complete headers
Add government address in the TO field.
I use to send them off too, religiously, years ago. The scams never
stopped, in fact picked up in frequency, so I surmise that sending them
to the government has no effect. And how could it? The U.S. has no
jurisdiction in Nigeria. Nowadays, I just ignore them as they always end
up in my Junk filter, which self-deletes after three days.
A while back, I was sending most of the ones I received (after I
View->Headers->All) to the body that they supposedly came from. But then
I noticed more and more companies were regularly changing their Spam
reporting addresses, and then most stopped supplying an address at all.
At the moment, I think the only Spam reports I make are to one
Australian Bank (which I don't have an account with anyway!!).
