If you are using Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail as E-Mail Client in your organization then follow the following steps: 1) Right-Click on the mail and select Properties OR Open the mail and select File/Properties from the Menu 2) Select the "Details" Tab and Click on the "Message Source" Button. Presto you will have details. This will open the e-mail in Notepad style in Full ASCII Text. Go through the Details in it.
If you use DHCP, depending on the lease period, that IP address may not be assigned to the same machine it was last week. It probably is, and for day-to-day working purposes I'd assume it was, at least initially. However, I wouldn't base legal or personnel decision on that assumption.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
