How to see all header fields of an email in mutt?

+2
−0

Neomutt (and probably Mutt too, but I didn't try) seems to be hiding header fields from email, such as the Message-ID field, and fields that are added by SMTP servers when they receive the message.

How can one ask it to show the entire mail source, as if one was reading the file itself?

In other software, such as (Mozilla) Thunderbird, one can ask it to "View Source", which shows everything.

When viewing a message, press h. To return to the normal view, press h again.

With typical viewer key bindings, h is bound to the display-toggle-weed function, which controls whether all headers are displayed or whether headers are "weeded". (Under the hood, it toggles the $weed boolean variable and redraws the display as required.)

To control which headers are displayed or hidden by default, use the ignore and unignore configuration commands.

(The links are to the stable version Mutt online manual, but there should be no significant difference between Mutt and Neomutt in this regard.)
