Well, you can see the email address of the person who is sending the email in the FROM: field, but this is not always accurate. The way the emails are created allows someone to set the FROM: address as whatever they want. So, for example, I could send you an email from president@whitehouse.gov, and as long as that is a valid email address, it will send fine.
One thing you may possibly do is look at the domain from where the email was sent. If it isn't one of the big 3 (yahoo.com, msn/hotmail, or gmail), then perhaps someone is using the email from their own personal site or company site. Go to the site or do a WHOIS on the domain name, and you might find some interesting information.

You can find the Public IP From which the user has sent the Email, The mail server through which the mail was delivered to you and the times which the action was performed.
Depending on the Mail Program you are using you would have option to see the mail headers.
If you remove the IP address from the mail headers you would have 3-4 IP address.
The Last one would be the Persons Public IP
Doing a Whois in that IP would give the persons location
The Last But one would be the Mail Servers Public IP
But you should also be aware that there are ways to fool the system by using proxy servers. Say i sit in india and send a mail through a proxy server in US. So the mail server would think i am sending a mail from US.
If you need any further clarifications please get back to me.

In Outlook Express you can use properties to see this information. This should reveal the domain name that the e-mail came from. For example, I have a Virus e-mail in my box from "Sophie T. Hendricks" - the properties show that "Sophie" is actually pyrj@bizview.org - the virus is in an attachment called "Greeting Card.exe"

I assume you're using yahoo correct? well if you are, do not answer it unless you were expecting an email from them, I get emails all the time, ads really... but some have viruses so be careful.
