I'd like to see how a certain email was put together.

Q: Is there a "View Source" for emails sent to Gmail?

Cant you just "view source" in the browser? – jtheman Oct 30 '12 at 20:20
This belongs on SuperUser, but yes, "show original" after clicking on the arrow top-right – Jasper Oct 30 '12 at 20:20

As Jasper pointed out, click the dropdown menu next to the reply button, and select Show original.

Don't know the web client of Gmail, but some way to go would be to configure different email client (e.g. Thunderbird with imap a few clicks...) where you can easily view the source of the message.
