How to view source of email message without opening the message?

In addition to Verizon Email, I use Windows Live Mail. With Windows Live Mail I can view the source of a message without opening the message. This way I can find out if the message is legitimate or spam before potentially getting hit with malware from a bogus message by opening it. I can then set up a blocking rule so a bogus message from either the sender or the domain never appears in my Inbox. I have not found a way to do this in Verizon EMail.

Is there a way to view the source of a message without opening the message in Verizon EMail? Right clicking just opens the message which I do not want to do.

computerbug,

You can get a preview of your email. Log into the Verizon account and go to email > in the top you will see

Conversations
Contacts
Calendars
Settings

Click on settings < General settings > Display and you will see 2 options for email view.

(Preview is not available, if the resolution is less than 1024 by 768 pixels)

Thanks,

As far as I know that is not possible using the web based e-mail client, but you can do what I do..

#1 Find My Settings -> Mail

#2 In there, one of the options is for Images.

#3 Set it to Block all images.
