    Suspicious email messages can be forwarded to one of the following;

     

     

    Make sure to include the long header.

    Long headers can be displayed using the menubar (see below)__email-long-header-navigation.jpg

     

     

    Then either copy & paste the long header or simply forward the entire message.

     

    Example of long header from a suspicious email:

    You are responding to a message that is almost a year old with a canned response. That is not good practice. Further, your advice is only accurate if the e-mails are being sent from an iCloud/MobileMe address.
