Melissa (and Mitch, et al) This morning I have found the following about e-mails. Netscape mail program allows you to see the TRUE sender of e-mail by clicking view, then headers, then all or full. What will appear is a bunch of jibber-jabber. You will see an addy for "from" (could show a fake or impersonating addy)....................

and organization (shows REAL addy). I changed my identity preference to _922, sent an e-mail to my ISP addy. I then saw the conflicting addys.

Down side : I can't find the headers, all option in "view" in Hotmail. No big problem except that I was hoping Melissa could see who sent Mitch's e-mail (Mitch's computer, or a troll).

If you have not emptied your trash in your e-mail program, you should be able to click : trash, then a suspected e-mail (from a troll using a forum members identity), and double click or right click and open.

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING : While this could turn up a trolls true email address and his ISP to report them to, it could also subject you to a virus. My WEAK understanding of this is: for you to get a virus you would either have to intentionally open an infected attachment, or have an auto attachment opening e-mail program.

Regarding Hotmail... I see under options, you can choose " mail display settings"..and then changeMessage Headers to full or advanced for tracking the true identity of the sender.
