the address box
If you have a suspicious looking set of email headers you
can copy them to the clipboard from your mail reader and
paste them into Sam Spade using Edit → Paste or the
paste button - . They'll appear in a new window, with
any addresses highlighted as active text.
If you have Smart Paste enabled Sam Spade will run a rudimentary header analysis. It's not perfect, but can sometimes find suspicious parts of the header
You'll need to paste full headers for header analysis to be useful
