    Here's a computer question for you experts out there. Let's say I am sending an e-mail to someone or I am accessing the Internet from a certain location. Can the recipient of my e-mail or someone somewhere else be able to tell where I am sending the e-mail from or where I am accessing the Internet (i.e. exact location)? Thanks :)

    In the headers of an email there is the sender's IP, but if you are on any sort of network you're probably hidden behind NAT, meaning it will tell the ip addy of the network. But in terms of physical location.... only your ISP can convert your IP to an exact location.
