How to View Complete Message Headers in Mozilla Thunderbird

Some 30 years before she was elected prime minister, a chemist helped concoct particularly smooth ice cream (made by whipping in air) for the caterer J. Lyons & Co.
This kind of anecdote—about Margaret Thatcher in this case, possibly but not certainly true—is possibly not what you will find in the email headers normally hidden by Mozilla Thunderbird; certainly, though, it can whip up, say, an email's itinerary to you through air, land and sea (as seen in Received: lines):
›› An email's headers keep track and save information. They include the sender's email setup or the path the message has covered, for instance. Here's how to access all message headers in Mozilla Thunderbird.

How to Archive Messages in Zoho Mail

Some are more than 300, most around roughly 50 and all .1 million years old at least: whichever piece of amber you pick up, it has archived well a tree's resin for quite a while.

How to View A Message's Full Headers in Evolution

There's Ford hill, Sand beds and Ambler thorn; above all Scarlet heights.
Picturesque at day, the route from Old Dolphin inn just outside Queensbury to the Boothtown area of Halifax is perilous at night. At two left turns, the hill drops sharply to the right of Queensbury road. Fortunately, tramway tracks just by the road reflect headlights with their always wheel-polished metal and allow one to see the end of the road—if not much else in the oft-foggy dark of West-Yorkshire's height.
Yes, a story (at least one) does loom behind the road and headlights. For now, though, let us see if we cannot venture beyond the few header lines—sender, subject,...—usually visible in Evolution:

Instead, make Evolution display the full headers (including Received: lines, mailing list information and spam filters' output, for instance) in place of the usual assortment.

From the Archives: What is Backscatter?

The snow is white, but the night is dark. So you use your flash.
The pictures look great, of course; specks of blown-out white littered all over the place lend an aery touch to the wintery scene.
Often, backscatter—light from a strobe reflected right back into the camera's lens by particles such as snowflakes—is something shunned, though, and removed later with spot editing or maybe a noise filter.
With email, backscatter is usually unwanted—and hopefully filtered away—as well:
