  2. Click on the "View" or "Details" button to view the email headers.
  3. Select the entire header text by pressing Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac).
  4. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Copy" or press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac).
  5. You can now paste the copied header text into a text editor or another application.

Method 2: Using the "View Source" or "View Page Source" option

  1. Open the email message in your email client (e.g. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, etc.).
  2. Right-click on the email message and select "View Source" or "View Page Source" (the exact option may vary depending on the email client).
  3. This will open the email message's HTML source code in a new window or tab.
  4. Select the entire header text by pressing Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac).
  5. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Copy" or press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac).

Method 3: Using a third-party email client or add-on

  1. Install a third-party email client or add-on that allows you to view and copy email headers, such as Mailvelope (for Gmail) or Email Header Analyzer (for Outlook).
  2. Follow the add-on's instructions to view and copy the email header.

Method 4: Using a command-line tool

  1. Use a command-line tool like curl or wget to download the email message and extract the header information.
  2. For example, you can use the following command to download an email message from Gmail using curl:
    curl -u your_email_address:your_password -o email.html https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/your_email_message_id
  3. Open the downloaded HTML file in a text editor and select the entire header text.
  4. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Copy" or press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac).
  5. You can now paste the copied header text into another application.

Note: The above methods may not work for all email clients or platforms, and some may require additional setup or configuration.
