Subject line is not part of metadata. Recursion Jun 2013 #21

#2 in this case doesn't tell anyone anything Recursion Jun 2013 #20

I've seen that from hotmail but nowhere else Recursion Jun 2013 #31

I do see x-originating-ip when I view full headers in yahoo mail limpyhobbler Jun 2013 #37

They should NOT be coding my Send to and From Information....in their data files. KoKo Jun 2013 #33
