I assumed that if he opened a new message in Outlook and dragged the
specified email and dropped it in as an attachment, that would give me the
complete source including headers. Apparently not.

I doubt that any of my clients are going to leave the MS womb just to make
my life less complicated <grin>. Here are the steps that I will use from now
on to get headers from Outlook users, in case others need this as well:

1. Open the message in Outlook or Outlook Express.
2. Select View/Options.
3. Click inside the "Internet Headers" box.
4. Ctrl-A to highlight the headers.
5. Ctrl-C to copy the headers.
6. In a new email to me, Ctrl-P to paste them into the body of that new
email.
