I am using Outlook 2013, and on some messages I can see the Other actions > View Source, but other messages I don't see it, I suspect somehow it has been disabled.

Any suggestions as to how to see the source?

I Tried adding a shortcut to this option to the Quick Bar list, on the messages in question, the shorcut disappears. I have also tried to alter registry, but I don't wnat to.

I used to be able to right clight in the message to see the source, why is everything so hard now?

That View Source option you are attempting to use only shows you the source code for the Body of the email.

Because of this, the View Source option only exists for messages that were sent in HTML.

the bodies of messages sent in RTF or Plain Text format will not have a source to view, so the option isn't given.

If you are actually trying to see the headers of an email:

  1. Open the particular email in a new window (this is important, it's not enough to be looking at the message in what Outlook calls the 'reading pane')
  2. Follow the menu File / Info / Properties
  3. Look for a text area labelled 'internet headers'
  4. Here are the headers. Select and copy the text to a text editor
