Answer
At the top of a message (above the date) is a line reading either "Standard Header" or "Compact Header". Click on this link, and a menu will drop down with an option for "Full Header". If you select "Full Header", a new window pops up containing the full header of the message. It has a garbled-like message, but it also has some information you can use.
You should be able to find a line that contains an 8 to 12 digit number, separated by periods. It might look something like this:
Received: from [123.456.78.91] by . . .
The "123.456.78.91" represents the unique IP address of the sender's ISP. Once you identify the IP address, you can run a "who is" search to determine which ISP provides this person with Internet access. If there's more than one Received: line, read them from top to bottom (the topmost is the most recent.)
There are several utilities available on the web to run a whole search. Here's one web site that can help you to determine which service provider is responsible for the IP address:
