Thank You Paul!,

I have looked at the Source of some of the emails I have in TB but never
have thought to use the CTRL+U keypress.

I will try to keep that in mind the next time I want to have a look at
the insides of a message in TB.

You got me wondering how you checked the source of unknowns in TB
without clicking on the message.

Just now I looked at TB and the last message that I read was highlighted
and I could still read it in the viewing panel, so I tried
Right-Clicking on another message and looking at the drop-down box and
didn't see the CTRL+U option to view the source, so I could click on it
to do that.

I'll try looking at Mozilla TB Help to learn how to look at the message
source without opening it.  Thanks for another ROUNDTUIT!  

And Thanks for mentioning CTRL+U works in FF too.
I tried it and FF opened another window for the site I tried it on.
All I had to do to make it easier to read was to enlarge the window and
turn Wordwraping ON.

Now where did I put that thar elusive ROUNDTUIT ?????????

Paul, I found my ROUNDTUIT and looked at TB Help but couldn't see any
way to view the source without selecting the message first.

Please tell me how to do it, thanks!
