H-ASIA December 9, 2007 A further note supplementing earlier post on e-mail and papers ************************************************************************ From: Vincent K Pollard <pollard@hawaii.edu> Dear Colleagues, This follows up on Flora Sapio's suggestions and may be of assistance in assessing questionable e-mail communications. Although many of us read our e-mail in Web format, e-mailing in a Unix environment offers some tracing possibilities more readily. And at many universities in the United States and elsewhere, one may do one's e-mail in *both* formats. Anyway, if the cursor of one's computer lies in any field of the e-mail header in many Unix-based e-mailers, the <control-r> command will cause that header to expand. At that point, you may need the assistance of your sysop to interpret what you see, but concealed intermediate e-mail addresses routinely are revealed this way. (This also is a way of tracking the sources of "spam" or UCE, that is, unsolicited commercial e-mail.)
