E-Mail Question
Oh FT Gods of Tech,
How can I get information on a Yahoo e-mail address (ISP, etc.)? My wife recieved a suspicious e-mail over the weekend, and suspects it came from her former employer (she and her partners are considering getting a restraining order against the person).

You can find out who it's assigned to (which provider) here

Is there an IP address here because the person sent the email through Yahoo using a mail program?
I thought if you are using a web based service like yahoo or hotmail there would be no local ISP address, only the address of the web based host.
