"Reading" e-mail without "opening" it?
So... in Outlook Express, with a received e-mail, I've noticed that you can do the following:
right-click/properties;
then click the "details" tab;
then message source...
...and you can essentially read the e-mail, some bits code, some bits in plain english.
My question is this. Is this the same thing as actually opening it the normal way, i.e. would a malicious piece of work or virus-type piece of mail still cause trouble on one's computer?
I hope my question is clear, and less dumb than I feel it must be. Either way, thanks for reading.
