How to Get Full Headers From Lotus Notes

Lotus Notes 4.6 (Win 9x client)

1. Open the properties box on the message (in the default installation of the Notes Client, it will be the first smart icon on the left, but you can also right-click on the document and choose properties from that menu)
2. Choose the second tab on the properties box, which is a list of fields and their contents
3. Scroll down to the field $additionalheaders.
4. Select the contents of the field and hit Ctrl+C to copy them to your clipboard
5. Open a new email message, put your cursor in the body of the message, and hit Ctrl+V to paste the headers there
6. If Notes will not permit you to select the contents of the field, you'll have to manually copy them to a new message - please be very careful in doing so.

Export the message as structured text to a file, then copy/paste the entire message. You should get all the received fields with Received: already in place. You'll also get reply-to: and other smtp headers.

Please note that some versions or installations of Lotus Notes do not comply with internet standards and discard the headers. If that is the case, you should contact your system administrator to see if there are any logs of incoming mail that might assist you. You as the user will not be able to get the headers at all.

Please see Notes.net for further information.
