Hi Mark!

Can you be a little bit more specific? Which e-mail client do you use?

In Mozilla Thunderbird, for example, you can find sender's WAN IP address by selecting received e-mail and pressing "Ctrl+U" (shortcut for View > Message source).

I think the better way to analyze a mail message is something like this start point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_techniques_(e-mail)

Hope this helps
