I can view my messages e-mail headers ( in hotmail.com and yahoo.co.in as the options are provided). Some mail services like Rediffmail.com and indiatimes mail are not giving the URLs or options to view the e-mail headers. How to view them ?

( i am following one simple method may be round about . In Rediffmail, I am forwarding the e-mail message as an 'attachment' to my yahoo mail-id. Then I logon to Yahoo mail,a nd use the option/URL 'View full headers' so that I can view all the headers ( original message plus forwarded message headers)

The reason I am asking for all this , I used to get some abusive mails who probably knew me. To trace this sender , I viewed the e-mail headers. (Probably he may be using a tool to alter headers). What I knew is the 'Received from' portion in the header can't be altered even by using tools also.

I noted down the IP addresses of the originating machine and the IP address of the machine sent the message to yahoo server .I checked in the site dnsstuff.com. The sender machine IP is found as a cache server of AOL ( address is like ???-proxy.aol.com . I heard that to be anonymous one use cybercafes or their ISP's proxy servers. And AOL allows their proxy servers.

I strongly feel that the sender is in India ( I am in India) . How can he access AOL from India?

I want to find out this fellow. His/her e-mail ID is not correct and my reply bounced back. Anybody can help me in this regard?
