No.
Now, for the clarification. While you cannot trace the route it takes
through the internet, you can see the machines that handled it by looking
at the complete header. This only works for stuff sent to you, or copies
of headers you have sent back to you from the people receiving your e-mail.
Besides, why do you care which routers the path takes? As long as it
gets there, who cares.
If you want to find a probable route, determine the machine that will get
the e-mail and do a traceroute. Doesn't mean the route won't change 10
minutes from now.
