Opening an email header.

I can open the header on webmail by right-clicking on the Subject and choosing Source.  How do i open the header on my POP email?  I have an iMac.  When i right click on the Subject line, none of the choices lead to the header.

    What are you using for email on your Imac? Mac Mail? If so, have you tried this?

    To have OS X Mail display all an email message's header lines:

    1. Open the message in the macOS or OS X Mail reading pane.
      • You can also open the email in its own window.
    2. Select View | Message | All Headers from the menu.
      • You can also press Command-Shift-H (think "h-eaders", of course).
