How to view source of e-mail without opening so I don't get a virus

I want to be able to look at my e-mail, see who it is from, and delete if from an unwanted source.  Can this be done?  Thanks

Just to provide a third opinion, the others are 100% correct. Viewing a message in Mail will not infect you with anything. Of course, it should go without saying (but often needs to be said) that you shouldn't open any attachments. Keep in mind that someone you know could become infected with something that sends itself to you. (That happened years ago with the Leap malware that spread through iChat, but has not yet happened on a Mac with e-mail. It always could, though.) So, don't necessarily trust an attachment just because it came from someone you know.

  • How to view source of email message without opening the message?

    In addition to Verizon Email, I use Windows Live Mail.  With Windows Live Mail I can view the source of a message without opening the message.  This way I can find out if the message is legitimate or spam before potentially getting hit with malware from a bogus message by opening it.  I can then set up a blocking rule so a bogus message from either the sender or the domain never appears in my Inbox.  I have not found a way to do this in Verizon EMail. 
    Is there a way to view the source of a message without opening the message in Verizon EMail?  Right clicking just opens the message which I do not want to do.

    computerbug,
    You can get a preview of your email.  Log into the Verizon account and go to email > in the top you will see
    Conversations
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Settings
    Click on settings < General settings > Display and you will see 2 options for email view.

  • How do I select an e-mail without opening it?

    Sorry if this is already answered, I couldn't find it anywhere.
    When I get a new e-mail I go to the inbox and see that it's junk mail. It has the blue dot next to it showing that it has not been opened. How do I send it to the junk folder without selecting/opening/reading it? This is a problem because I am led to believe that the spammers know if their message was read and will send more. If I control-click on it and send it to Junk it still marks it as read.
    Thanks.

    Hello Ariel.
    The Mail.app does not support requesting a delivered or read receipt for messages sent by the Mail.app nor does it provide a delivered or read receipt without your knowledge when requested by the sender so this is no concern with the Mail.app.
    To protect yourself from spammers, do not automatically render all HTML received. If a spammer's HTML includes embedded images and/or objects, there is a potential you are notifyng the spammer your email address is valid when any HTML is rendered. This is often done by embedding your email address in the HTML links (particularly for graphics). When your mail application connects to the Internet to load graphics from the spammer's Web site, the spammer can log your address as "known good."
    If the Mail.app automatically marks a message as Junk, it will not automatically render any HTML included in the message when the message is opened but if you prefer to tightly control your email address, turning off HTML rendering is a good idea. If the HTML is not rendered, then no request is sent to the spammer when viewing the mail.
    If you choose to turn off HTML rendering, beware that clicking any link in the unrendered message may compromise your identity. When viewing a spam message, do not click on any link that contains any portion of your email address. If the link appears to include encrypted data (looks like random characters), this could also be your email user name.
    Follow these steps to turn on or off HTML rendering, as desired:
    1. Open Mail.
    2. Choose Mail > Preferences.
    3. Click the Viewing icon in the Preferences window.
    4. Select or deselect (as desired) the checkbox for "Display images and embedded objects in HTML messages".
    If there is a valid message that contains HTML that must be rendered from a remote server, select the Load Images button at the upper right of the message window below the message header.

    Hi Sandeep,
    I think you can setup the type of email in Shared office Settings in transaction S016.
    There is an option called <Preset document classes>
    You choose this pushbutton to branch to the maintenance screen for the document classes that are directly displayed to users in the Business Workplace for selection when they use the Create function. The name under which the documents are displayed can also be maintained.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • How do you delete e-mail without opening?

    I just got a blackberry curve.  I want to delete an e-mail without opening it but cannot find an option to do this.  When I have the e-mail open and I hit the menu key (the one with the spots) there is an option to delete.  I would like to be able to do this without having to open the e-mail.  Can someone help me??
    Thanks!

    Click the email application button where you will see a list of all your emails.
    Scroll to the unopened email, but don't click on it. Click the BlackBerry button (the one with the spots).
    Scroll down until you see delete. Select that, and then choose where you would like to delete the message (On mailbox & handheld or just handheld).
    Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions.

  • Send the mail without opening mail form

    Hello,
    I want to send the report output thro' mail without opening the mail form. This is needed as the report need to be scheduled to execute at particular time. The mailid will be got from the DB.
    I noticed that the mailid needs to be available in the mailer's addressbook. Thenonly report can send the mail.
    Does it mean, all the mailid's available in the DB needs to be part of addressbook? I need help on this.
    thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Vani.

    Hi,
    It is not necessary to have all the mailid's available in the DB needs to be part of addressbook. If you set desname to mailTo address, that mailid is "TO" address of your mail output.
    Thanks,
    Puvan.

  • HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

    How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

    I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
    I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
    #1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
    #2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
    #3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
    #4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
    #5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
    #6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
    #7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
    Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
    Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
    #8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
    What a pain in the keester, eh?

  • How to view source of native method Thread.start()

    I have already downloaded and unzipped the source code for JDK. I want to view the implementation of Thread.start() method. However, I can only see one line:
    public synchronized native void start();Could anyone tell me how can view the implementation of this method? And generally, how can I view the implementation of a native method?
    Regards,
    Xinjun

    %SRC_BASE%\j2se\src\share\native\java\lang\Thread.c,
    but that only defines a table in which start0()
    forwards you to JVM_StartThread(), wherever that may
    be.You are crossing the boundary between the JDK code and the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). If you have unpacked the Mustang sources [1], take a look at:
    hotspot/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp lines 2421 through 2504.
    This will soon lead you to hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/thread.cpp
    Hope this helps...
