For development purposes, I need to view an HTML email as plain text, using Yahoo Mail. How do I do that?

I am confused - do you want to see your Yahoo mail or do you want to see the HTML email using the Yahoo Mail application ? – Nikhil Sep 30 '10 at 10:42
I have an HTML email in my yahoo inbox. I want to see the raw email (i.e. the email 'source'). – Bobby Jack Oct 4 '10 at 12:21

Apart from chanchal1987's answer - if it's just the headers you want to view, click ACTIONS > VIEW FULL HEADER for a small popup with the email headers.

If you are using Google Chrome then Right Click anywhere in the message body and click on "Inspect Element". Now find the IFrame with class "messageArea". Right click on all content between <iframe> and </iframe> and and click on "Copy as HTML" button. Paste it on any text editor (like Notepad). This is the source of the message body.
