How to View ARPA Headers
Message headers provide a list of technical details, such as who it came from, the software used to compose it, and the e-mail servers it passed through on the way to the recipient. These details can be useful for identifying problems with e-mail or identifying sources of unsolicited commercial e-mail messages.
