I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.


Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.


Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.
