thanks, rivka.
that was helpful.
nice little coincidence there that the boards are named hatrack.
so, from what i can tell, you should be able to track down the server used to send the email, the name/address of the computer that logged into that server, the email address used to send the message, and that's about it.
maybe more depending on the setup, but in this case, we have a careful user who wishes to remain anonymous logging into a fairly secure server.
so, that should do it. thanks!
