Description

Hi,
sometimes I get mails that look dubious. The best way to find out if they are spam oder phishing-mails is to check the mail-header and look into the mail-source for cloaked links.

Is it easy possible, to make a new option "show mail source" or extend the option "show mail header"?

Research direction

Start by locating the existing “show mail header” option and reading how it presents message metadata. Determine whether the requested mail source should be a separate option or an extension of that option; done means users can inspect the complete raw source, including headers and message content, for suspicious links.
