When I get an email that seems suspicious I always view the message source before I open it. My Hotmail just switched to the new version and I can't find a way to view the source before you open the message! The old version you just right clicked on the message and had the option to view message source. Now the only place I can find to view the message source is in the Actions drop down of an opened message. Kinda defeats the pupose to have to open it first!

Does anyone know if there's a way to view the message source without opening the message?

I am on an XP SP3 computer using IE 7 at the moment, but at home I have Vista Home Premimum SP 2 with IE 7. Does the browser make a difference? Would Firefox or IE 8 give me different options?

Thanks for your help!

I dont think the browser makes a difference as I've just tried using Firefox & the option is there. I would suggest you contact the support team to ask if others are having the same issues

Thanks, Mumsboys. I found a thread already started there asking the same question so I added mine to that. So bizarre that they would change the ability to view the source until after the message is opened. Obviously, they don't realize how people use that feature to avoid dangerous emails!

Will let you know if I get any useful info.

Glad you found others with the same problem Yes please let us know what they say as it may help someone else here

Getting no where with the support team. I think they are having a lot of other problems lol
