Default Shortcut for Message Source?

Is there a keyboard (or other) shortcut to view the source text of
a message?

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

I have been told CTRL F3 only works with the preview pane turned on Larry,
not sure if this is true for all systems... but you can add a preview pane
button to the toolbar using right click customize so it is still a quicker
option even if you don't regularly use preview, and it's not dangerous with
HTML like it used to be so there's no reason not to use it.

Is it possible to get it to open the message source full-screen? I've tried
resizing (not full-screening) the window then closing it but it doesn't
remember the size. The window always opens in something just smaller than a
quarter of the screen.

No. Not unless someone like Steve Chochran comes up with a new toy.

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!

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?

Ctrl+F3


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