I'm looking at an email in Outlook Express, and I want to see the
actual header. How do I do that?

Also, is there a way to tell Outlook Express to always show me the
actual email address? It tends to hide that whenever it can,
showing me only the name.

Right-click on the email, properties --> Details tab --> Message Source
button.

Are you sure about Ctrl+F3? It's Alt+Enter here?

Ctl-F3 brings up the source page here, Alt-Enter brings up the general tab
of the properties box....

Sounds like you have a 3rd party app running. CTRL-F3 brings up the mail's
source code, including full headers. In OE, Alt-Ent does nothing.

That's the long way around. Ctrl+F3 *immediately* display the raw
source. Alt+Enter brings up the properties dialog for the selected
message whereupon you then have to move to the Details panel and then
click on Message Source. That's a lot more navigating and clicking
then just hitting Ctrl+F3.
 
That's the way it is here. I am using an add-on OE-QuoteFix so I cannot
be sure whether this has changed the normal set up.

Of course OETool, another third party utility. puts an icon on the Tool
Bar for looking at headers.
