It's been awhile- IIRC, time, Febreeze, some slow-evaporating waxy stuff in a tub that reminded me of 1960s mens room air freshener, and a lot of parking in asphalt-ocean parking lots with the windows open in the sunny summertime. For awhile, if the weather was damp, and you let it sit a day, you could catch a whiff as you first got in, but even that finally went away.
So, how'd you get rid of the smell?
Because they feel the user shouldn't be bothered by niggling little details. The headers are unsightly, and PC users should not be exposed to them. The average PC user might be panicked by the sight of a mail header. We'd have stampedes in every office in America.

How do you plan on "finding out what you want" if the data is not stored like you claim it isn't?

OK, I futzed around for a bit this morning and came up with....nothing.
The computer in question has Office 2003.
Microsoft's online help was useless. Google turned up numerous ways of viewing headers, but none of them matched up with any of the menu dialog boxes I saw, and I could not find any menus at all where I had the option of getting at the headers.
This is stupid.
If you can find the actual message file(s), try dumping it out with a fully functional editor (I like emacs).
I disliked MS readers too. My younger staff set me up with ThunderBird email/news. It's a free software program. Click [V]iew, [H]eaders. Toggle normal or full display. Even I can manage that.

Outlook REMOVES the headers from the message. The headers are stored SEPARATELY, but linked to the appropriate message somehow. It is that separate store which I cannot find.
Outlook Express, Thunderbird and other email clients I have used do NOT split their messgaes up in the manner of Outlook.
I confess I never use Outlook. Started to set it up once, but it was so cryptic and dysfunctional I just stick with Outlook Express when I have to use PC's. Moved to a Mac in '02 and have never looked back.
