Hotmail question - Can I view the I P address behind an email?

GibsonSt19

I know this is possible in standard Hotmail, but I would like to know whether this is also possible in Windows Live Mail?

Also, if I was using the original Hotmail setup, and set it to show email headers, would this extend back to messages sent before enabling the header option, or just to those messages which arrive after it's set?

Thanks

It'll show the headers regardless of when they were sent.

For your first point, I doubt it but I'm not sure. On my email account hosted by maxrat.net , the headers can be seen using the online utility, but in outlook using IMAP they can't be. So I assume windows live uses the same sort of thing...

As for your second point, the email headers are always saved, so will apply to all your messages.
