[TriLUG] OT: Email Trace

[jsevans at nc.rr.com]

I think that I have been involved in a penpal scam, and I would like to verify this before I contact the police.  I had exchanged several emails with a person in the UK who now wants me to send them money in Africa, to an undisclosed location.  Sounds fishy, huh?  I am trying to find out which part of the email header has the originating IP address.  I believe that the correct header is listed as:

X-Originating-IP:

I just want to make sure.  Thanks for you help.
