Most responsible web-email providers -- including, specifically, Yahoo! -- construct a "Received:" header which shows what client IP address their web server received the message from. In fact, I was able to use that just yesterday to track the source of a not-very-coherent email that just might be a suicide note. (It led me to one of our public-access machines, but it did at least confirm a credible on-campus origin.)
