Internet message header in Outlook on the Web, OWA and Outlook.com
I know how to get the Internet message header in Outlook to check the origin and other sender and routing details of a received message, but is there also a way to see them when using Outlook Web Access (OWA)?
There is indeed also a way to check the Internet Message Header in Outlook on the Web, Outlook Web App and Outlook.com.
However the command is relatively hidden and in a slightly different location for each web version.

Note: With these Exchange versions, there is no way to access the Message Details dialog without first opening the message itself. However, this is not a security concern as attachments cannot be opened automatically, scripts are not allowed in messages and web beacons (images used for tracing you) do not automatically download.
