I do not show any notations of changes on the account you are posting from, Daedalus. This leads me to believe the email you received was a phishing attempt.

Q u o t e:
I open the mail and right click it to view source, then another window pops out showing a lot of random code stuff.

This is more than likely the email header information. Email headers indicate where the email originated from and will show if it is in fact a phishing email or an email from Blizzard.

Q u o t e:
Okay I guess I figured out how to get the header, by viewing message source.

I get an error when trying to do so stating that I am unable to download the source, the internet site may be down etc.

I feel like such a fool >.< sorry guys

Don’t feel this way! It is ok. Everyone is trying to help you find the information you need to verify if the email is fake or real. Take a look at this Knowledge Base article since this may help you:
