How do you decipher the headers on emails?  How do I find out what the terminology on the headers mean?

Most of it is pretty clear. One thing that might not be obvious are the "Received:" lines. As an e-mail message is passed from one server to another, the server adds a "Received:" line to the top of the e-mail message.\n\nWhat that means is that you can backtrack an e-mail message by the received lines. The top line is the information for the server that delivered it to you. The next line is a server that passed it along. The bottom Received line will be the information about the system that sent the e-mail to you.\n\nHowever, spammers and other scumsucking lowlifes can actually add an extra couple of Received lines to the top of an e-mail message trying to obfuscate where the message originally came from. You can eliminate some of them by understanding specifics of an IP address. For example, they'll use something like: 354.210.0.223 as an ip address but since each octet is a range from 0 to 254, you can see the first number cannot be valid so you can delete that line.\n\nPlus, since each server just adds a "Received:" line and nothing else, any received lines that fall after a non-received line:\n\nReceived:\nReceived:\nFrom \nReceived:\nFrom\n\nThat third received line is likely bogus.\n\nAnyway, other lines should be obvious as I said. Date, time, subject, from, lines, etc. Other lines might not be as clear and may be specific to an e-mail package or spam fighting package. Read the line and what the data is. It might become clear if you think about it.

I'm not exactaly sure, but from the name, it sounds like a mail server, and I know that my computer gets a "error 403: Forbidden!" on it.

In terms of formatting, make sure you strip out any previous sets of headers (the recipient doesn't need to know the last 50 people it got forwarded to) and sigmatures. Similarly, trim any indenting\n\nBAD:\n\nto: somebody@eample.com\n> to: anotherperson@example.net\n> > to: yetsomebodyelse@example.org\n> > > \n> > >\n> > > joke that is quite wide and due to forward arrows \noverlaps\n> > > so one word is on the next line and it's harder to\nread\n> >\n> \n>\n\nGood:\n\nAll that nonsense cut out, and the message gets to the point.\n\nALSO:\n\nBecause it's the wrong way up!\n\nWhy is top posting so bad?

it sounds like someone is forwarding emails to you.\n\nother than that, I don't understand what you're saying.  there seems to be a question there, but I don't know what it is.

What method are you using to read your email?\nIf it's Outlook Express, I think I can suggest some changes you could make to your options that might be what you want.\nEven if it's not Outlook Express, if you tell us what you're using, someone should be able to help you.

you should be able to forward from there but you can just check it amnd move it to the inbox..remember forward as attachment not inline text, it keeps all headers that way

If in your Options page you click to Show COMPLETE HEADERS, and send and email to YOURSELF, you will see what routing information, etc., that comes marked on your emails.\n\nBest wishes. :)

use a comma or semi-colon to separate them\naddress1@yahoo.com,address2@yahoo.com or address1@yahoo.com;address2@yahoo.com\n\ncopy them all into the body of an email and send it to cssiscool@gmail.com and i'll see if i can figure out what the problem is.

There's a good chance the email address you are forwarding it to is invalid, closed (possibly filled up to its capacity) or no longer exists. There's also the rare possibility of server failure. You have to read the details in the email header and try and trace the path it took. There usually is a message why an email is returned to you amongst those details.

You have 6 unread messages and a TOTAL of 14 messages in your inbox.\n\nThe number on the side is the number of emails that are marked as new or unread.\n\nThe number at the top lists all the messages in you inbox.\n\nHope that helps.

This is a common thing that spammers do, it's called forging the header.  Spamcop.net can trace down to the ISP that was used to send the e-mail.
