    If you're using Outlook Express, from the inbox right click the message in question, select properties and then Details. Once Details is open the IP the message came from will be available.

    Otherwise you can just select the message and then at the top of OE, select Message then Block Sender. Simple.

    Good luck.

    Open the e-mail and in the upper right is a link for standard headers.

    Yahoo inserts a field called "x-originating IP " which is visible when you examine the headers. So, from an email originating from Yahoo and SENT by Yahoo via their website, the answer is yes But be warned - headers can be spoofed.

    Your email program should have a mechanism to examine the headers.

    IP addresses change all the time based on their lease because many are dynamically assigned so therefore the info may not be of much use. From the IP you can get the ISP (Internet service provider) by doing a reverse lookup.

    The ISP maybe able to track who owns the IP address at the time of the message, but that may require a court order.
