Use MVP Steve Cochran's OETool to examine the source code. It's a one
button click with the Views bar enabled.

Plus, did I mention that it's free?

Larry,

That kinda defeats the point then, if I can already see the message in
the
preview
pane. I was looking for some way to inspect emails without using the
preview
pane, and without being limited to plain text only.

... and it's not dangerous with
HTML like it used to be so there's no reason not to use it.

There are some messages I want to view in HTML so I would like to keep
that option, yet if I open an email that has an image which is referenced
from
the web, the fact that I requested the image lets them know I opened the
email.
Viewing the source lets me see the message without any sort of call back
to
the
originators...

Oh well...
Thanks for the replies!

The message source button in OETool works without the message being opened
in the preview pane. (when it works .G)

Going through
PropertiesDetailsMessage Source... is a bit of a cat and mouse
chase to click it all. A simple keyboard shortcut would be nice....

Ctrl+F3

In newsgroup messages, the message body *must* have been downloaded for
this to work, not just its headers.

True. Thanks Robear ;-)

Then the answer may be to read all in plain text (which you obviously know
about), use the preview pane, and do like I do when wishing to view an HTML
message (The odd one out as it were) use viewmessage in HTML (or Alt Shift
H)

MS Outlook does have the no pictures option but since OE runs by default in
the "Restricted" security zone perhaps you could achieve something similar
using the IE security zone settings? Don't know for sure, never tried.
