How do I preserve the full headers when redirecting an email message?
There are a variety of situations when you may need to redirect an email message you’ve received to someone else, at the same time preserving the header information of the original message. (The message header includes information about who sent the message and from where it was sent, along with information useful to a technical support person such as a postmaster. The usual things you see are included, too, such as subject, date, and the reply-to address.) By preserving the original headers, the person to whom you pass the message can reply directly to the original sender, often the desired outcome. Or, a technical person can investigate where the original came from, as when the message is spam or includes a computer virus. Different mail programs use different commands to perform the function of passing on a message with the original headers: it could be redirect or resend or bounce. Below is a list of mail programs and the specific instructions for performing this function. • Netsca
