Never draw any conclusions (other than whether it's spam) without a look at the headers. > What email client ought I be using to actually get the useful > information, such as ip addresses etc? Thunderbird has an option to display emails as raw, or whatever it's called, like pressing "v". I forget the details but it was very easy to show headers. > Otherwise I can look over the > various thunderbird files using a hex editor Text(!) editor, that's always a good one for debugging. The thunderbird email format is concatenating emails itno one file, without mbox style "From " headers and without separators. Easy to access if you have a string to search for in the headers. Searching bodies will fail if the body is base64 encoded, and may fail (end of line) if it's MIME encoded. You could also save the email from thunderbird in mbox format (they call it "email" format - haha), then use a reliable workhorse like mutt (instead of that clicky stuff that may show you its interpretation at any time) to view the actual email text. In mutt, simply press "e".
