I used to find it in the View menu. It isn't in the message context menu either. I want to be able to pull up my message source code to see if a link is properly formatted. That email link won't open Firefox.

Where is the View Source?

Running Linux Mint 19.1, 64-bit, Mate Desktop

@christ1: Thank you; that works. But how would I find such an obscure command to accomplish the viewing of email source?

Mind you, I do use keyboard shortcuts, CTRL A, CTRL C to select all, then copy. It is faster to do these things than to run through the menu if I am doing a lot of the same thing. Switch to another app and CTRL V to paste the copied info there.

But View Source is an occasional activity, maybe a rare activity. I would not think of CTRL U. Isn't that how one may underline text?? CTRL B to bold text, CTRL I to set italics, etc. .....

I am glad we have these help forums! Thank you.
