=E-mail Header= Author: Bryana Urbanek

Email headers contain information that travel with every email. Email headers are very important for many reasons. The main reason why they can be very useful is simply to see who is emailing you, why, and what time. They save time for everyone to have to guess who is sending them emails. The headers in most emails that you have, you can see To: who your sending it to, Subject: main reason your sending it, Date: when your sending it, and From: who sent the email. Usually the From: just makes it so that you can reply back quick and easy.The most important part of all the email headers however, is the Received: the route the email took. Another reason email headers are very useful, is identifying spam. Spammers don't want you to know who they are, and wants to make sure you can't reply back easily. Luckily, the Recieved: gives just the right information for SpamCop to find these emails and put them under your spam folder.
