I have recently learned a great key combination!

Pressing CTRL+F3 shows the message source, without any alterations or "enhancements" by OE.  It even shows it in a fixed-width font
by default.

No more false hyperlinks, no more file://'s, and even no more having to change the font (great for beginners?)

Hope that brightened someone's day.

I have also discovered that is you wan't to see a message before OE applies ugly url parsing
and coloring .. press and hold down the mousebutton on the message you wan't to read.. OE only
does parsing when the button is released - Unfortunatly .. you can't scroll the message without
releasing the button.
