Possible to get IP from email?

I'm not sure this is the correct forum to post my question.. but is there a way to get someone's IP from an email they send you in Hotmail?

 

The reason I ask is.. I'm just curious to see if this certain someone is also viewing my myspace on a regular basis. Laughing

Thanks!  I actually found an even easier way after posting this topic....  If you go into Microsoft Outlook (I have version 2007) and check your email through that, you can right click on the message and click "message options".  It will then show you the full header!

Re: Possible to get IP from email?

i have just found this trick to get full headers in hotmail after months of searching. for anyone who doesn't know, hotmail took away the ability to see full headers in hotmail months ago when they started forcing migration to Windows Live Hotmail. there was just literally no way to do see anything but the basic headers. now, in the "Classic" version of Windows Hotmail, there is still no way, which annoys me because that is what i use. but there is a way now in the full version.

if you use the full version of Windows Live Hotmail, what you have to do is right click on a message in the message list and choose view source, then the headers will popup. now, don't do this in the reading pane (where you read the message) or you will get nothing useful. the place you have to right click is in your list of messages where it has the sender and subject (where you would click on to open the message). instead of clicking on it to read the message, right click on that line and choose view source there.

if like me, you use the classic version because the full version crashes and/or slows your computer to a halt, you can easily switch between the two just long enough to get the header. there is that link at the bottom of the page to switch to the full version or if you don't see that you can go to options and the link is there too. you can switch back to classic the same way - there is a link in one of the panes to switch to classic or you can go to options and the link is there.

this is a pain in the ass and i don't know what they were thinking taking away the headers in the classic version and hiding the ability in the new full version but anyway, that is how you can do it.

i switched to yahoo after they started this change to the new hotmail, which i would suggest for anyone who uses hotmail. not necessarily yahoo, although i'm happy with it - gmail is good of course or some other email - but just switching away from hotmail. i just use my hotmail account now for online stuff or people i don't know.
