Hi All,
I am a newbie and have read quite a bit about headers on emails. There is a lot of other information in the header and was just wondering if anyone could explain what it is.
I have copied a header from an email I got. I am not looking to trace this as its my GF, just interested in all the info as I want to learn more about internet security and how much privacy I actually have.

Thank you for masking the email addresses so we didn't have to. 🙂
Most of this is pretty obvious information. The Received: from [86.2.nnn.nnn] is her IP address or the IP of the server she was connected to when sending.
What else are you wanting to learn from the header info?
