The macOS Catalina MAIL does not have the function to NOT open an email. ie scroll up from the bottom of page to see the origin of sender. Who is joining me in telling Apple that this a bad move because one has to open SPAM by default.

In this way you are not really opening anything just "previewing" the email.


There is no harm there.


If Junk mail is not working for you as expected you can turn it off in Mail>Preferences.

You have the option of installing a third party spam filter. ex.
