When a lengthy email ends with these words in Gmail, you know what to do: click View entire message.
When a lengthy email ends abruptly and, you suspect, with its best and finishing part left out in Gmail, what do you do? You can open the email in a separate browser window, of course, but that just yields the same ending in a different format. Or you take a look at the source: everything is there for sure, just not in a legible format.
Fortunately, Gmail does not clip messages when formatting them for printing. You don't have to commit them to paper to take a look at the full monty.
