For the curious or non-gov type I recommend you look at 'em from an internet cafe - I won't get into specifics on this. There's nothing worth a shit on them anyway unless you know what to look for...

A Soldier,
Your computer is assigned a so called IP address when it accesses the internet. That IP address is logged on the servers (such as for websites) that you connect to. For instance, your IP address can be found on the computer hosting this page.
When you send an e-mail, unless you pass your e-mail through a mail system that removes the source and doesn't log your connection to it, your IP address is listed in the e-mail (in the 'headers') and likely in the mail software logs - which can be exploited by hackers.
The IP address offers ways to find the owner of the address. That is called IP tracing.
HTH
