email header
Digital letter's top
The email header is the metadata section at the top of an email message containing routing and identification information: sender address, recipient addresses, subject line, date, and technical details about the servers that handled the message.
Headers are mostly hidden from casual users but useful for tracing an email's origin or diagnosing delivery problems.
Check the email header to see if it's really from your bank or a phishing attempt.
