   My ISP, Demon, always identifies and includes the IP address of the
sender in the header, which I use for a whois lookup. It is rare to find the
actual email address through the WHOIS search, just the details of the ISP.
   Sometimes the sending address is obviously something like MSN, but they
will identify and deal with the sender. It is important to include all the
header in the report, with the recorded times.
