krnoto55 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 To all, I use Outlook 2000 and when I report spam to Spamcop, I use the two part form. For the first part, I open up the email, then click on VIEW, then OPTIONS. I look for the Internet Headers - right click, SELECT ALL, then COPY. Then I go to Spamcop's first part of the form and I paste it in. Then I go back to the Email and in the body of the letter, I right click and hit VIEW SOURCE. A Notepad box will pop up with the Html Source code. Again, I right click, SELECT ALL, then COPY. Then I go to Spamcop's second part of the form and I past it in. I've been using this routine since I got Outlook 2000 installed on my machine without any problems. BUT TODAY - I received an email about eBay Turn Key businesses. I performed my usual routine for the Internet Header, then when I right clicked in the message body, and clicked on VIEW SOURCE - NOTHING HAPPENED! No NOTEPAD BOX. NADA. I did it again. Nothing. I went to an eMail in my DELETE BOX that worked fine yesterday - it did not show the source code!! I closed Outlook. Opened it up again. Same thing. Nothing - I could not view source code anymore! So, I rebooted. Went to another email that worked yesterday - and Voila! it worked, I got to see the source code. So I went back to the problem letter. Followed my routine - and - you guessed it - Nothing. I went back to the good letter - nothing. What I would like to know - Did the Spammers find a way to shut off View Source in Outlook???? And if so, How do I restore it! THIS IS A PAIN - but something the Spammers would do for sure! ARRRRRGGH. HELP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 How about ruling some of the old Outlook / Windows issues out first. For example, the size of your Outlook folders for instance, problems occur if they exceed 2 gig ... Check the (generic) C:\Windows\temp folder and see how stuffed it is, maybe a clean up needed there ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 ...Is the "View Source" link greyed out? That happens to me when the body of the e-mail is plain text rather than HTML. In that case, just Select All then Copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Some spam has been known to contain java scri_pt that disables right-click. Please consider using one of the products linked near the bottom of How do I get my email program to reveal the full, unmodified email? : Microsoft products : Outlook 98 and 2000.
