I Want to see HTML Code in an email

I get HTML emails. I want to see the code - can I do that? I've tried "view raw source" but that basically just shows me a text version of the email, not the tables and tags I want to see (and copy for my own purposes).

Have you tried this. While viewing the HTML email, do a Save As & select Raw Message Source. Then open the saved file using TextEdit. It shows the HTML source code, but I don't know if it includes all the tables & tags.

Normally the raw source shows everything. Make sure you are view the entire mail, since html emails usually have two parts, one plain text and one html code.

Another possibility.

I'm sure that your ISP has a web page where you can view, using your browser, your mail messages before you download the message using Mail. Open the mail message and under View, select Page Source. There you can view the HTML source code. You can even save as an HTML file.
