Sorry to bother you but IP address encapsulation in the mail header is 
STMP server dependent. Please check the header of this email for 
instance... You'll never be able to find my real location using this 
method. Geocities is does this to protect the privacy of the 
homesteaders... There are also other sites on the Internet that does 
this... 

Unfortunately this can be used to to send anonymous emails like "Naughty 
Robot". There was a complaint here about Geocities a few weeks ago 
concerning the "Naughty Robot"... There is no proof to say that this 
originated at Geocities. It can be sent from anywhere in the World using 
the Geocities's STMP server ...


Best Regards Viorel,
Gabriel
