The old Outlook 2007 had a Properties > Option where you could see the complete coding of the Senders address and it was very easy to see a spoofed email by examining this info.

In Outlook 2016, the Reading Pane doesn't seem to have this feature available.

Does it exist somewhere else?

Yes and No.

That's the right window of info I''m looking for but in 2007 you could read that window BEFORE double clicking and opening the message.

So if the message if obvious spam, I would send it to junk and not Ever open it.

That was the nice thing in 2007 ie Properties > Option and No open.
You would think that window would be available as an option in View or Reading Pane.

I found using a similar title as your link:

How to always have the Properties dialog at hand
The Properties box is a really handy option and it would be nice to be able to get it at your earliest convenience. You can use it to add a digital signature to an email, or turn on the option "Do not auto archive this item". With the help of this feature you can also enable such tracking flags as "Request a delivery receipt for this message" and "Request read receipt for this message" to be sure that the email was received.

Go to the File tab and select Options from the left menu list.
In the Outlook Options dialog, pick Quick Access Toolbar.
Select All commands from the Choose commands list.
In the below list find and select "Message options" (you can press M to be able to scroll faster). Please don't make the mistake I made, it is "Message options" you need, not "Options".
Press the "Add >>" button and click OK.
Press the Add button and click OK

That's it! Now you can see the message headers without opening the email itself and enable the necessary options for the outgoing emails in a few clicks.

Thanks a lot!!
