Also, is there a way to tell Outlook Express to always show me the
actual email address? It tends to hide that whenever it can,
showing me only the name.


Right-click on the email, properties -- Details tab -- Message Source
button.

Default How to view email headers in Outlook Express?

I'm looking at an email in Outlook Express, and I want to see the actual
header. How do I do that?

Also, is there a way to tell Outlook Express to always show me the
actual email address? It tends to hide that whenever it can, showing me
only the name.

Are you sure about Ctrl+F3? It's Alt+Enter here?

Ctl-F3 brings up the source page here, Alt-Enter brings up the general tab
of the properties box....

Sounds like you have a 3rd party app running. CTRL-F3 brings up the mail's
source code, including full headers. In OE, Alt-Ent does nothing.

That's the long way around. Ctrl+F3 *immediately* display the raw
source. Alt+Enter brings up the properties dialog for the selected
message whereupon you then have to move to the Details panel and then
click on Message Source. That's a lot more navigating and clicking
then just hitting Ctrl+F3.

That's the way it is here. I am using an add-on OE-QuoteFix so I cannot
be sure whether this has changed the normal set up.

Of course OETool, another third party utility. puts an icon on the Tool
Bar for looking at headers.
