Tell us what happened

The original e-mail

Every e-mail carries a block of technical text that stays hidden while you read it. It records which computers actually sent the message, and it is the most useful single thing you can send us. There are two ways to get it to us, and either one is enough.

Most e-mail programs can save a message as a file — usually ending .eml, sometimes .txt. Attach it here and we read the technical text out of it ourselves, keep only that text, and delete the file.Outlook on a PC cannot save that kind of file. If that is what you use, skip this and paste the text below — it is the same evidence.

or

Open the message, show its technical text, select all of it and paste it here. Where that option sits differs from program to program; the common ones are listed below.What you paste should be dozens of lines, each starting with a word and a colon: Received:, From:, Return-Path:. It is supposed to look unreadable. If that is what you are looking at, you have the right thing.

Where to find it in your e-mail program
Outlook on a PC (the classic version, with a File menu)
Double-click the message so that it opens in its own window, then choose File and Properties. The text sits in the "Internet headers" box at the bottom: click into it, press Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C, and paste it into the box above.
The new Outlook, or Outlook in a browser
Open the message and choose the three dots at the top right of it, then View, then View message source. Select everything in the window that opens and copy it. If that same menu also offers Save as or Download, the file it produces is the one the first box asks for.
Gmail in a browser
Open the message and choose the three dots at the top right of it, then Show original. On the page that opens, use "Copy to clipboard" — or "Download original", which gives you a file you can attach above.
Apple Mail
Select the message, then choose View, Message, Raw Source, and copy what appears. To send the file instead, drag the message out of the list onto your desktop.
Thunderbird
Select the message and press Ctrl+U — Cmd+U on a Mac — to show its source, then copy all of it. To send the file instead, drag the message out of the list onto your desktop.
Anything else
Look for an entry called Show original, Message source, Raw source, Source text or Internet headers. Whatever it is called in your program, the text behind it is the same thing.
