Hi all,

Anyone know whether this header is added by Eudora? If so, is there any
way to suppress it? (I use v. 4.3)

Eudora doesn't put that in my headers. It's probably supplied by your ISP,
which puts this on your newsgroup messages:

See the thread from Sept. 29, called "Printing E-mail" for instructions on
how to use TabooHeaders to suppress headers you don't want to se..

Thanx Frank. for the reference. But I didn't make myself clear. I want to
stop Eudora from adding the header completely, so that *the recipient*
doesn't see it -- if, of course, it's not added by a server. Anyone have
ay ideas? Thanks.

There is a small and free program called Edit-X that does exactly what
you want. (I've used it on versions 4.1, 4.3, 5.1, and 5.1)

You can download Edit-X here:

Edit-X works for the X-Sender header. The X-Originating-IP header is
added by mailservers like those of MSN and Yahoo.

The X-Originating-IP: header is added by the destination mailserver.
Furthermore, in checking a dozen or so emails received here (sent from
Eudora, Pegasus, Outlook, Outlook Express,and other mail clients)
there is nothing in the X-Originating-IP: header that isn't somewhere
in the other headers anyway.

Thanks. Doing more reasearch, that's what I figured.

Doing a little checking myself, I found that you're right. Even notes sent
from not-really-mail clients like Opera, which does not include the header,
will contain the numbers somewhere else. (I guess IP# in the header isn't
a matter of mail clients at all, but more of server
transmit/receive/route...)

Thanks for pointing this out.

This does not have to be true. Especially when somebody is using a
webmail system the X-Originating-IP header is often the only header with
the IP-address of the sender:
