Hello,

How can I determine the original sender of a message? For example, say some
one forwards the a message that was sent to them. Then I recieve the
forward message how can I determine who originally sent the message
programically?

Thanks,


James

In general, that information is not preserved in emails when forwarding is
involved. Your best hope is if every forwarder in the chain attached a copy
of the message that was sent to them. You could then walk through the
attachments until you find the first one. But even that is not guaranteed.
