Collect a Gmail message header for support without forwarding only a screenshot

Use Show original when support needs the message's routing and technical header information. A screenshot of the sender name omits most of that evidence.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Use Show original when support needs the message's routing and technical header information. A screenshot of the sender name omits most of that evidence.

Understand the issue

Headers can contain addresses and other information, so share them only through the authorized support route. Keep the original message and describe the issue separately. A header inspection does not by itself establish that an attachment is safe.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Open the relevant message in Gmail on the web.
  2. Choose Show original from its message menu.
  3. Provide the requested header information to the trusted support contact.
