I have a Iphone. I'm constantly getting obvious phishing emails with a attachment purportedly from Apple. It has a word attachment. It says - "Re : You receipt from Apple available #G2P-29882345456 Wednesday. 20/06/2018". I never open it because I know I never bought anything from the Apple store. I send the email to reportphishing@hotmail and I get a reply from Microsoft asking me to send the complete headers as a attachment.
In the early years of hotmail I seem to remember hotmail included the headers at the bottom of the email but now I have to click "view message source" and somehow copy it and send it. It brings up a popup window. Why doesn't hotmail just have a show/hide header button like other email programs and I can forward all headers. Why do I need to send a attachment??
Microsoft sends me this reply:
Please forward an unedited copy of the message that includes the X-originating IP and message headers.
The easiest way is to send us a copy of the email as an attachment.
If you are using Outlook.com you can view the header by:
Log into Outlook.com
Click on the email
At the top right, click on the little arrow where it says 'Actions' or 'Reply’
In the menu, click “View message source”
In Outlook, see the following information on viewing message headers https://support.office.com/en-us/article/View-e-mail-message-headers-CD039382-DC6E-4264-AC74-C048563D212C?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US.
How do I send the email as a attachment? The support link doesn't really answer that.
