Hi all,
for some time now, I had to switch to the German version of AOL to get headers. Now this is no longer possible. Is there any other version that still offers this feature?
In "help" they say something about upgrading, probably a paid account. Evil or Very Mad

I use AOL for my Lucy account and I can still get headers.

I open the mail.
Click on 'Action' and pick 'View Message Source' from the dropdown.
And that opens a new window/pop-up and gives me the header/source coding for the email.

That doesn't work for you? Confused

"Action" does no longer offer this feature for me.

And there is supposed to be a line "Sent from the internet" when you click on "Details" directly above the open email. Doesn't come up anymore.

I had this same problem months ago, that's when I switched to the German site. Now it doesn't work either. Maybe they want to force me to upgrade.

Before you open the email, can you right click on it? Do you get an option to View Message Source from that drop down?

That line 'Sent from the Internet' has been gone for a while, at least from mine.

I don't know why they would want you to upgrade. Is there some place they are saying that? Do you have the linky?

Sorry I can't be more help. Sad

You did help! bow_down

"Right click" did the trick! The menu that pops up now gives a lot more options than "Actions" - and among them "Source".
I scoured the internet, and nowhere did they tell you this nifty trick.
