You can view the header information of the email and it will possibly give you the IP of their computer, but not always. You'll at least get the IP of the originating mail server. The method for viewing header info varies by email client.

To check on email headers go to the details link of an email Or check the properties.

Mail is sent to you from the mail server at the ISP so any IP checker would find that IP and not the original sender.
