How do you copy headers?

The subject basically says it all: How does one copy all headers so that if one wants to notify a company or other entity, say, about a phishing attempt, the headers can be included. I looked it up in the help articles, the forum, using the search term "copy headers", both with and without quotation marks, and not ONE article that came up had ANYTHING to do with... copying headers! I know I have done this before, but it has been awhile, and Edit/Select all only selects the BODY of the email. Also, Thunderbird doesn't seem to allow one to highlight and copy headers at ALL.

I would like to think this is a simple thing to do, but I guess nobody copies headers any longer! [sarcasm off]

ctrl+u shows you the source of the message, including headers.

Works in Firefox too, to show you the source of a web page.

And it can be found under View|Message Source in Thunderbird's menu.

Well, thanks for the response! That does work, but considering, it seems like a LOOONG way around just to copy headers. It seems to me when you select a message then choose Edit/Select all, Headers should be included in All. When viewing source, it can be confusing if you don't know what you are looking at, and it breaks the message down as well, which is unnecessary.
