For security reasons, sometimes it's nice to read the source of an e-mail message (as plain text) without actually opening the message. Opening a message (even in a preview pane) can potentially expose you to malformed HTML attempting to compromise your browser (usually IE is used to render HTML in MS's mail clients). Or, just the action of your e-mail client downloading an image or web bug (while opening or previewing a message) from a spammer's domain can confirm to the spammer that you're a real, live person and that their spam successfully got through all the filters.

In Outlook Express, you can right-click on a message in the message list, go to Properties, then Message Source shows the whole message, headers and body, in plain text. Perfect.

In Outlook 2007, you can right-click on a message, then click on Message Options..., which shows just the headers as text. Sometimes this is enough, but not always. It would be better to see the whole message as plain text.

In OL2007 you can also *globally* set all messages to be read as plain text via Tools...Trust Center...E-mail Security. This setting is for the truly paranoid; I don't want to turn it on for all messages.

In OL2007, is there a way to view the entire source of a single message as plain text, like with OE?
