Answer:
The only thing you can tell with any decent chance of being right is the IP address of the server which forwarded it to your ISP. Since that computer is almost surely an "open relay", a public ISP with a temporary account, or a drone machine hijacked by the spammer, you're not going to get very close to your target. You might have better luck with some "social engineering"... i.e. reply or follow any clues therein, and con the sender into revealing themselves.

This is my third attempt at replying to this - apologies I am slightly illiterate when it comes to computers! Thank you for your answer! All I have is one email send by one person to another person. The sender has been made to look like me and I suspect the receiver has set this bogus hotmail account up to cause trouble for me. She recd a malicious mail from 'supposedly' me and has reported me to a mod on a forum. I want to check if the bogus mail and her email address are from the same source??
