Hi Derek,
If A uses a PGP signature, and B forwards the mail intact, without
cutting off the signature, that will give you a check as to the real
origin of the message. It really only works if you trust A's signature,
but if you do, it's the only way I know of checking.
PGP-Mime is available for Thunderbird, and there is probably a way of
implementing it in Outlook but I don't know it.
If B forwards the mail with headers, that gives you a second check - but
most mail clients cut the original full headers off forwarded mail.
Cheers,

(a sends an email to (b
(b forwards that email to (c
Is there a way (c can be 100% sure the forwarded email truly did
originally
come from (a ?
I know (c can check header for the mail from (b, but I cannot see how
one can check that what (b has passed on is truly what (a sent.
Regards, Derek
