Hi.

I don't want to go into the details about my job, but let's just say they may try to use this against me.

I have been sick for the past 2-3 days. Very sick.

This past Thursday 2/12/09, I sent an email attachment to my boss via the MS outlook system we have at work letting her know that I will be unable to come to work the next day 2/13. Since I had been sick, I decided to make up some time today 2/15. When i get in, My boss tells me that the outlook email that was sent on thursday had arrived today (2/15), and that I did not let her know I was going to be out for work on Friday.

There is already an ongoing conflict between me and some other people at my job who are against me, but I wont explain further. I just know I sent the notice to my boss that thursday. Why is the outlook message late? When i looked in my "sentbox" folder at work, It shows that it was sent today.

Is there a log or something to check? to show that i sent it on thursday? I dont want this to be grounds for my termination. Please let me know if there are any diagnostics or anything I can run.

THANKS!

In Internet email, headers contain the addresses of all the computer systems that have relayed a message in between the sender and you. Each computer that forwards the message along its route adds a line of information to the headers (timestamps!). Usually you do not see the full headers, as they can be fairly long and so are not displayed along with the common "From:", "To:", "Subject:", and "Date:" headers. The information provided in the full headers allows you to determine where a message actually came from, and how it got to your computer. This is sometimes necessary because the address you see on the "From:" line can be spoofed, or faked. For example, you might receive a message that appears to come from a friend or family member's email address, but that was actually sent by someone else spoofing the address.

To display full message headers:

1. Open the mail message. In Outlook 2007 or Outlook Web Access (OWA) Premium, double-click the message so that it opens in its own window.
2. In Outlook 2007, in the Options group, click the dialog box launcher (small square with an arrow). In OWA, click the "Message Details" button (the icon is an envelope with a small document over it).
   In Outlook 98, 2000, 2002, and 2003, from the View menu, select Options... .
   In Outlook 97, at the top of the message, click the Options tab.
3. The message headers are at the bottom of the window, in a box labeled "Headers:" or "Internet headers:".
