Some Help With Headers
These
instructions will help you with the short process of
properly reporting
spam received at an Ag email account to spam@Cals.Arizona.Edu with the full headers
of the original spam email you received. This can also be used any other time you need to find the full headers for an email. We give instuctions
for both Pine and Eudora Email programs.

Pine
- First, assuming you are have already opened
Pine, you will need to highlight the "SETUP" option in
the main menu. Next you need to choose "CONFIGURE" at
the setup prompt by striking the "c" key.
- Now you will see a screen that has a series
of configuration options -- you need to find "enable-full-header-cmd" and
highlight it, then put an "X" in it's box by
striking the "x" key:
- When you go to send the spam, you will
need to press the "h" key, as this will actually
show the full headers of the message, then send it to spam@Cals.Arizona.Edu
Using
Eudora and Microsoft Outlook
When you are using Eudora and Outlook,
there is no setup involved like in Pine, it's a bit easier:
- When using Eudora, you must press the "BlahBlahBlah" button
 which will be located at the
top of your e-mail.
- Once you have done this, forward the
message to spam@Cals.Arizona.Edu.
1. Open outlook and double click the message
you want to get full headers for:
2. Once the message is open click on View at the top and
then Options to bring up the headers:

express 2000
- While Outlook Express 2000 is open, right-click on
the spam message you want the headers for, and click
on Options like so:

Header" section of the window, and right click on
it; this will produce a small menu, then click on the
Copy option:
- Next, go back to Outlook and with the spam message
still highlighted, click the Forward button. This will
open another window with the message ready to be sent.
