Anonymous sent this as a standalone hint, but I feel it more properly belongs here as a comment, so here it is:
In a recent post about obtaining one's IP remotely using email, there was a series of questions and comments on how to obtain the IP. Well, calm down! Send yourself an email, no body or subject necessary, and look at the headers (if you use Mail, go to "View" menu and click on "Show all Headers", I have it on my toolbar) It will be the last "Received" tag from top to bottom. There it is, your ip address.

I was basically hinting at the same technique with my question "Can't one just inspect the headers of the email to find the IP address that the message was sent from?" :-)
