Show Long Headers

I have tried this but can't even find 'Show Long Headers'. Any ideas?

By default, each email you receive displays the email’s sender, recipients, and date. When using Mail on iCloud.com if you want to see more details about a message—such as an email’s return and delivery paths, “Reply-to” field, and content type—you can display its long header.

View long message headers

Double-click a message to open it in a new window.

Click the Action pop-up menu in the toolbar, then choose Show Long Headers.

After you choose to show long headers, they continue to appear until you turn them off.

Well then it is not possible to see the entire iCloud mail header through mobile browser. Someone says AltaMail (email client) has an option to show header. I don't use AltaMail. Have a look here:

That is what I thought. It may not apply to iPad/iPhone but you would expect Apple to make that clear!

I tried tapping everywhere and anything but no luck!

Your menu at the top is different to what I see online using my iPad. See below

Did you try it with a different web browser (Chrome, Firefox etc)? Worth a shot.

Thanks for that suggestion. Had a look at the app but it requires a subscription so I will keep it in mind.

Perhaps he was using Safari on Mac and you're using Safari on iOS (mobile). You both are looking at different versions of the website. Try tapping and holding the refresh button (right side of the address bar) for a 2 to 3 seconds then tap Request Desktop version.

I am using the Request Destop version. It is the only way to access iCloud.com from the iPad.

I also noticed thst the Apple support says double tap and the message will open in its own window. It doesn't

It actually says "Double-click a message to open it in a new window" instead of Double Tap. That tells me the instruction is for Safari on desktop/laptop. I don't have my iPad with me so I can't test it myself but I have a hunch that it does not work on mobile browser. If I were you, I'd tap everything that I can tap to see if there's something hidden.
