That's the full email headers.

The message was originally sent by shana_james1001@yahoo.com, using a computer in Nigeria [IP Address 83.229.91.50] on March 14 2007. The rest of the details are just various bits of tracking information that are normally picked up by emails as they travel through the internet.

It means where the email you received was sent from and how it was sent.
This part is who sent the message
X-Apparently-To: yibiche@yahoo.com via 68.142.207.199; Wed, 14 Mar 2007 04:55:03 -0700

This is the ip address of the sender
X-Originating-IP: [68.142.236.168]

This is who is in the reply of the message
Return-Path:

This is just from yahoo's servers if I am correct its part of there spam system
Authentication-Results: mta105.mail.re4.yahoo.com from=yahoo.com; domainkeys=pass (ok)

If you look at this part you can see that 68.142.236.168 corresponds with the X-Originating-IP: [68.142.236.168] this is the ip address of the computer that sent you the message. From what I can tell the person logged in to the webmail at web58315.mail.re3.yahoo.com and sent a message that went through mta105.mail.re4.yahoo.com

Received: from 68.142.236.168 (HELO web58315.mail.re3.yahoo.com) (68.142.236.168) by mta105.mail.re4.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 14 Mar 2007 04:55:03 -0700

This information is the email - internet header information. Where the email originated from where its going to and all that kind of information. This info is attached to the email as a header, its not visible to the user unless you want to look at it.
