Unable to get IP in gmail from emails from gmail
In gmail to view the time or date a message was sent, or to view the email address of the person who sent you a message, click 'More options' and then click 'Show original.' This displays the full header of a message.
Learn to read full email headers
Email headers determine where a message is sent, and records the specific path the message follows as it passes through each mail server. To follow the path of a message chronologically, read from the bottom of the header, and work your way up.

I have noticed a strange behavior in this. If I am getting mail from a gmail id , I am unable to get the IP address of the sender as documented.
Example
X-Gmail-Received: 2bba1a28b5627a1cb6bb4638c70a2d9ee53c7c52
Received: by 10.64.193.18 with HTTP; Fri, 30 Dec 2005 02:56:44 -0800 (PST)
Message-ID: <9eb10cd20512300256v7690a954n2bdce656f072056f@mail.gmail.com>

10.64.193.18 refers to some internal google ip ( not the ip of sender.

Yes, Gmail (unlike Yahoo!) doesn't put the IP address of the sender of an email (the machine from where the web request was made). So, it's impossible to get the sender's IP unless you are a sys admin at Google ;)
It includes a hashing that they can use to find the IP.
is there any option to find the original sender ip from this hashing?
If a user sends using smtp.gmail.com, you can determine the source address, but I also haven't found a way of determining this from a web browser originating message. A google privacy issue: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=26903&topic=12787
Gmail must show sender IP for the safety of receiver. I need to find IP address of sender, i have gone through many searches on internet but cant find any way to find sender IP.
I find, many people, who need to find sender's IP are so much angry with gmail and even few boycott gmail. I am also considering to change my primary email from gmail to any other.
by the, if there is any way to find gmail sender's IP please let me know, i am in need to find senders IP and it can save a life of a person.
right now, i am going to bycott google so i have changed, my homepage to yahoo, search engine to yahoo and also i have uninstalled google chorome
