OK, I feel like my "dumb as a box of rocks" persona. Can anyone let me know how to display the full headers on a live.com email address?

I appreciate your help - JP

If you're using Gmail (which you should be since it masks YOUR headers), go to the upper right of the email where it says "Reply" and click on the little arrow to show more options. Click on "Show Original" and bingo.

No, my Hotmail account is set up using my gmail account as the "primary" email account. I don't worry too much about my headers since they confirm where I (or my baiting persona) is supposed to be.

Anyhow, after about an hour of diddling around with Hotmail, I found the display header solution - right click on the name of the e-mail sender in the "in box". You get a drop down menu, at the bottom of which is "View E-Mail Source". Select that and the headers appear.
