This feature is certainly well hidden Leo and
I shared your exasperation in trying to find it.
To see the full headers of a message:
1. Windows Live Hotmail must be in "Full Version" mode, not "Classic" mode.
2. Right click on the link to the message in the column left of the preview pane.
3. A drop-down menu will appear and at the bottom will be "View Source".
4. Click on "View Source" and the Full Header information will open in a new window.

I found a way to at least VIEW the full headers in a message received in MSN Windows Live Hotmail: Highlight the message you want to see the headers for (under the column where you choose your "Sort by..." options. Right click on that message and click "View Source" at the bottom of the drop-down list. A box pops up with the message in text mode with full headers shown. You can copy and paste it and print it out, etc., but it looks like it is only a temporary way to view any message with full headers...still no way to make it a view option for all incoming messages automatically.

Here is another way:
To view the full message header, please refer to the steps below:
1. Go to your "Inbox".
2. From your e-mail message list, right click your mouse on the e-mail message that you want to report to view the full header.
3. From the menu that will appear, select “View Source”.
4. A new window will show up displaying the full header of the message.
According to Yahoo (whilst trying to report a scam) what you see in the the view source option is not a FULL header

do you guys can see the IPaddress? I dont see anything like that. view source can be seen on any html page. you'll see the source code of that page but no the full header info of imcoming email like IPaddress, right?

according to ebay.co.uk - who want me to send them the header from an email, the 'view source' is not the header. It annoys the hell out of me that the 'instructions' they keep giving me are out fo date when its their job to get it right!
