Unison Icon

Showing, editing and hiding header information

Usenet messages contain a great deal of information in their headers that is not usually needed by humans, except sometimes for diagnostic purposes.

If you wish to see full headers, select Show Full Headers from the View menu while viewing a message in Message view. Choose Hide Full Headers to hide them again and display the basic headers.

Alternatively, you can add the Toggle Full Headers item to the Unison window's toolbar for quicker access.

To specifically control which headers are displayed in basic view:

  1. Choose Preferences from the Unison menu
  2. Click Messages
  3. Select Custom... from the Show Message Headers pop-up menu
  4. Type in the name of a header you wish to view
  5. Click the Add button to add it to the list
  6. Click the Delete button to remove a header you aren't interested in
