Patt,

There is a way - if you are using Outlook express, right click on email, choose 'Properties', and then "Details'. It contains the e-mail header (usually hidden from a user) with the path (each step labeled "Received") e-mail went through... Find the last "Recieved" - it is the one you want to look at. It contains computer's IP or name.

You can use something like http://www.geobytes.com/iplocator.htm to find the location by IP.
