Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to get the IP address of the machine
that was used to compose an email that was sent using gmail?

Am I overlooking something?  Shouldn't looking at extended header of
the email likely reveal that information?  If you click on the
downwards-pointing arrow button next to the Reply button on the far
right of the email window, a drop-down menu appears which has "Show
Original" that shows the original email in raw form with all the
header information.
