What is the purpose of HEADERS in a message - outlook

Why do we have headers in the messages? There is a button in the send and receive in 2013 that says download headers, what does it do ?

See What is an Email Header?.
A lot of time is required for downloading messages with large attachments. Outlook allows you to download a small piece of emails that can you let you know what it is. So, you can decide whether you need to download it or delete without downloading and spending your time for waiting.

Logic apps against EOL Shared MBx

I am VERY new to Azure Logic apps. Please be gentle - but any links to sources of learning will be appreciated as well.
I have a made a simple logic app at the request of the business that answers every e-mail received in a shared mailbox with an autoreply - instead of the standard "one per customer" action of the normal Exchange Online autoresponder.That part works just fine.
We now need to add an action that can delete without replying for specific senders. Why? We "found" another org that must be set up to do the same thing, thus causing a flood of responses between the two org's Autoresponders. Not surprising, but obviously not good.
I'd like to be able to add the relevant address (and be able to add addresses in the future) to a (parallel?) filter, that would prevent this loop from happening. I've tried my best to use the "Delete Email (V2)" built in function for "Office 365 Outlook" but it always ends in a "Resource Not Found (status code: 400)" error and the email isn't deleted/moved to the deleted items folder.
Any ideas how to either get this to work, or a better way to do this job?
Thanks,
Mule

As mentioned in this statement, we understood that you are using When a new email arrives (V3) trigger to give an auto reply.
I've tried my best to use the "Delete Email (V2)" built in function for "Office 365 Outlook" but it always ends in a "Resource Not Found (status code: 400)" error and the email isn't deleted/moved to the deleted items folder.
To make this work you just need to give the message id from the trigger When a new email arrives (V3) and so it deletes the one that has already arrived. You can make required actions in between before deleting the mail.
Considering this to be my logic app
I could able to get the email content to my logic app from outlook in Get email (V2) step and as soon as it completes this action the Delete email (V2) executes and deletes the one that just arrived.
Here is the email that I'm receiving
and the successful run for my logic app
For more information on logic apps you can refer Introduction to Azure Logic Apps - Learn and Azure Logic Apps documentation

Ultimately a better answer was to use different variable for the conditional. Using an OR conditional with several archetypical subject lines, as well as embedding "invisible text" in the body of the original response email was the solution, as Logic Apps seems incapable of pulling the Message ID through the steps.

Is there a way to open up a known Outlook email through Java 11? (Web or Local)

Short Version:
I want to open any specific Outlook email from my Java app, either locally through the Outlook app or through the website on a browser. I already have the email information like folder, message ID, UID, sender, receiver, etc but not the email ID used in the URL of the Outlook website. Does anyone know of a way to do either of these things through Java?
Long Version:
I'm creating a software for my company in Java that has a built-in email client for Outlook emails so the emails can be linked with jobs in various ways. So far I've been able to make good progress with the email client section in terms of displaying a list of emails and being able to display a chosen email, but recently I've realized creating a GUI for an email editor (keeping track of reply chains, dragging in images for inline attachments, etc) is quite the gargantuan task to do on my own(JavaFX's HTML Editor could use a lot of work).
My band-aid solution for now is to have my program open the chosen email up through either:
Some (Windows 10) system command by calling the Outlook desktop application to show the email by some sort of ID (maybe UID?). I know on some level that this is possible because our company has an old program written in C# that can indeed do that.
Opening up the system's default browser with a link to "https://outlook.office365.com/mail/folder_name/id/insert_id_here". This is my preferred solution.
Here are my problems with each option so far:
There doesn't seem to be any resource I could find that provides an answer to this. The closest I can find are threads that explain how to open the default mail application with options to pre-populate to/from/subject/body sections (not to mention you can't pre-populate the body with anything besides text! So much for reply/forward messages with HTML formatting and attachments!). Another problem is that the old program I mentioned displays emails by finding the Outlook application's files (presumably the local OST file). I have no idea how the old program's able to call Outlook to show emails and even then, there's a chance that there's no Java equivalent. I, however, am using JavaMail to load up my mail, as I think it's better to talk to the Outlook mail server to fetch/push mail updates rather than wait for the Outlook app to sync up. This creates a problem because even if I knew how to call Outlook, my application may be more up to date than the Outlook app (especially if Outlook is not already open) and if call before Outlook updates, Outlook wouldn't be able to show it.
Again, I can't seem to find a resource for explaining these URL IDs. They're not the same as the mail's UIDs, and they don't seem to be anywhere in the mail's contents when grabbing mail through JavaMail. The most I was able to get from research was that they were called "long IDs", as they were just long strings (seemingly non-sequential) but that might've just been a made-up name from the article as I've found no other references to it. There's a chance that they could be some sort of encoded UID but I didn't see any note of JavaMail having to decrypt to get UIDs in the documentation. I doubt I'd be able to make any more progress with this option, but if there's a solution similar to this (perhaps some sort of script that opens up Outlook online, searches by some identifier, like body contents, and pulls up the first result? Idk much about browser scripts) I'd be happy to hear it.

TNEF capable e-mail clients

We have written an Outlook Add-in and it appears that when you add user properties to a MailObject while the user is composing it, and you then encrypt and sign it and the message is Sent, the message will end up getting sent as TNEF, despite imploring outlook to do otherwise through various settings and so on as described here: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-is-sending-winmail-dat-attachments/
So one of our clients has a contact who insists on encrypted communication and therefore our client now has an issue with this contact. Either they cannot use our Add-in to its full potential (having to avoid the functionality that adds those User Properties), or their contact complains about receiving mail with "winmail.dat" attachments.
I have since established a communication with our client's contact, and I am trying to establish what e-mail client they are using, and one thing I'm going to try is see whether they would be open to the idea of moving to another e-mail client that is TNEF capable, even if it's not Outlook. But my Google-Fu is failing me. I've googled "TNEF capable email clients" and many variations thereof "that can use" "able to" ... etc etc etc. Nothing gives me the result I am looking for, a simple list of non-outlook email clients that have native capability for handling TNEF e-mails they receive. Plenty of articles of tools to allow users to decode the winmail.dat attachments manually, sure, but no simple list of natively capable e-mail clients.
If anybody can help me with this one, it would be greatly appreciated.
Eudora used to support TNEF. Otherwise Outlook is the only one to the best of my knowledge.

outlook huge attachment management

I'm going to develop an outlook plugin that detach huge attachments from the email and upload such attachments to an FTP site.
In my first version of the plugin i did all the work in the Application.ItemSend event, but when the attachment are really huge (greater than 1GB) this solution is unsatisfied because the UI freezes while the user uploads the file.
A mandatory requirement is that the email should be send only after that the upload to the ftp site is finished. Any ideas about a better way to implement an outlook solution ?
Do you mean the UI freezes while you upload the file? Display a modal dialog while the upload is still in progress and do the actual upload on a separate thread.

Sending email from website using mailto link

That might be silly question but I really need to know the answer. If I got the Outlook client installed on my machine and I click on the mailto link on the website the subject and body specified in the link is passed to the client. Is anything else attached to the message? Any headers or addition information about my website?
I am asking this question because I have such a link on my website and every time I test it the email fails spam checks with Postini.
I also get this message:
Your email has been encoded as 'Quoted-printable', and yet one of the lines of content is longer than the maximum 76 characters. No line within a quoted-printable body may exceed that size.
When I remove long links I am not getting this message but the email still fails the Postinig check.
Thanks for help,
Marcin
mailto: links are just interpreted by the browser as a signal to say "Open the default mail client to send an email to this person". Everything else is treated as a classic mail by Outlook.
Maybe it is something in your mail that Postini recognises as a potential spam phrase?
