Office 365 Outlook show Email Headers

Good Day:

I purchased and installed the latest version of Microsoft Office365 for my iMAC (16.26 build 19060901). I am trying to show the source headers for emails I receive. In the past, I could see them by selecting but not opening the message in Outlook and then holding down the OPTION key and mouse which would bring up a menu that had the view source as an option. This is not working in the new version.


I used the previous version of Outlook 2011 which is still installed on my system. And guess what, the ctrl+mouse does bring up the menu that has the source view selection. So this issue now appears to have started when I upgraded to Office 365 release 16 for the MAC.


My question is can anyone else confirm this?


Thanks - Mark K.

OK - I just completely removed Outlook and reinstalled it and the ctrl+mouse brings up the menu with the view source. The solution to this problem is to completely remove the Outlook application and then do a selective reinstall of the Outlook application from the dmg image.

Well here is some more information that explains the view source/mail header issue:

It seems that Microsoft's great quality control process failed once again.

The working version of Outlook for me was Version 16.25 19051201

this was after I removed Outlook and reinstalled it from the DMG file. However,

today the Microsoft Update program ran and installed Outlook Version 16.26 19060901

which breaks the view source menu.
