    If you have the IP, you can enter it into the whois database on www.ripe.net
    That'll tell you you owns the IP address, and normally gives an admin email address to register abuse complaints etc

    Even if you did trace the ip address is would more than likley been sent from a internet cafe..no one sending nasty emails would be that stupid as to send them from their own computer,would they?

    Ip address wont do you much good Im afraid as it will go via a sever anyway. As far Iam aware emails cant be tracked.

    It depends on how clever the person sending the email is. You might not be able to trace it directly to the individual concerned, but may be able to track down the ISP by working your way through the full headers of the email. Most ISPs have a standard address for dealing with reports of threatening / spamming email, which is often abuse@ but not always.

    you sure it's not a mate on a wind-up following all the letters that have been sent out? If it's proper nasty then I suppose it wouldn't be.

    You can get IP Addresses out of an email, tracing it is very easy but wont give you an exact location.
