IP security

[edummy]

i did a cracked thing

I emailed a coworker and let her have it. I was a coward and sent it from
my yahoo account. anyway it caused a big stink..
I emailed this from my new work and am wondering if our work IP can be traced. will this show up on the email or will Yahoo give this out, it's a pretty big company..

also my yahoo account was suspended.. i mean it wasn't a threating email or anything..but anyway.

help me out, can this be traced back to our ip better yet my computer????

You're at a new job and you sent a nasty email to a coworker? That's not a great way to keep a job. You must not like it very much. It must have been a pretty bad email if Yahoo suspended your account for it. They may have logs but I doubt they'd be willing to share the IP address with your employer.

But you never know! Act like an adult and this sort of thing won't happen in the future.

When using Microsoft Outlook, open an external mail then in the menubar click on View and then click on Options.
You can see the Internet-headers. Use your mouse to select the whole text and copy the text.
Start notepad and paste the text. You now see the information which is 'publicly' available inside the e-mail message.
Your Coworker can do the same with your e-mail message.
(I guess that Murphey's Law applies to e-mail too :-D)
