Re: how do i find ip address on email

Look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3). The bottom most Received line is
inserted by the SMTP mail server that first got the message. It should
indicate the IP address of the PC that sent the message.

But there are limitations. If the sending PC is on a dial-up connection
the IP address changes each time the PC connects to its ISP. If the PC
is on a LAN and the SMTP mail server is not on the same LAN, the IP
address that it sees may not be directly relatable to a PC.
