Email header information show useful ‘technical’ information about email sender. You can track email sender’s IP address, domain, location by checking details contained in full email header. Default email view, does not show full email header (as it is not required by majority of email users). Also, unlike Yahoo Mail and Gmail, viewing full email header information in Windows Live Hotmail is little confusing.
