To extract email headers from Thunderbird:

  1. Double-click the message to open it in a separate window.
  2. From the View menu, select Headers > All.
  3. Click the Forward button to forward the email to a third party.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • View the message as is (with full headers) to the required address, or:
    • Select the header and copy and paste it into a new message.
  5. Copy and paste the header into the Header Analyzer, and click Analyze Header.
