How it works

Continuation lines are joined to the previous field. Reading stops at the first blank line, so an email body is not included in the result.

Assumptions and limitations

Up to 256 KiB and 1,000 fields. This reads syntax only: it does not authenticate senders, validate SPF/DKIM/DMARC, trace routes or prove the reliability of Received/Authentication-Results headers.

How to use this tool

Paste only the raw header block and Analyze. Inspect unfolded field values locally; remove identifying information before sharing any output. Paste headers or open a local email/text file. Choose header groups, a name filter, ordering, row limit and text/JSON output. Duplicate fields stay separate. The body is always excluded.

Worked example

Demonstration data only. Loading an example replaces the inputs but does not run the tool.
