Issue:
You received a suspicious email or otherwise wish to investigate the origin of an email you received.
Resolution:
- From your internet browser, open Gmail.
- Open the email you want to check the headers for.
- On right right side of the email, select the More button as shown below:
- Once the more button is selected, choose Show original.
- Now make sure to select Download Original. This will download an .eml file which can be opened using a Text Editor program. Once the .eml file is opened, you will be able to copy the contents.
Hint: Doing this is important since you can include this information when submitting a ticket about a suspicious ticket. If you have problems opening the .eml file, then you can attach it to the ticket to ITS.
