Can anyone tell me how to view x-headers in the inbox table view in
OL2003? I know I can look at the internet headers for messages
individually, but I'd like to have the spam score from my filter show
up in the table as part of a process to improve filtering. I first
thought I could just export the meassages as a big table, but
whatayaknow, when I do this, the internet headers are not available!

TIA

I don't believe that's possible.

If that's true, then Outlook has effectively eaten the valuable
information in my email and destroyed it in any useful form. I don't
believe this for a minute, the fields are accessible from code, I was
just hoping someone could point me to a how to.

The fields are accessible from code only.

They are not separated into separate headers that could be displayed in a
grid, they are all part of the PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS MAPI property,
along with the MIME of the message, standard headers and any x-headers.

There are a number of samples for getting the Internet headers property as a
text field. From there code can parse the property into separate text lines
and display those on a custom form or whatever. That's the best you can do.

The information is there, it hasn't been "eaten".

thanks Ken, that's helpful. I have no experience of outlook coding so
I'll leave that. In the end I think the best I can do is sort copies
of mail into separate folders based on spam score using the rules
wizard and eyeball the folders. I'm just trying to decide how severe I
want my server to be at deleting spam, it's started to let loads of
the stocks/GIF mail through.

You can always view the headers by selecting an email and right-clicking on
it and selecting Options. The entire PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS property
is displayed.
