the e-mail which your friend has got will have the IP address recorded on the mail header so send that IP address to the ISP and ask for details about the person if they are ready to help you then only they will they will send you his details. All it depend on that particular ISP :) :)

As the mail was forwarded by yahoo groups, I doubt the sender's IP would be in the headers. Or, am I wrong in assuming that?

No Sri Sriusb , you are right

the senders IP will be in the header

ask the Internet Service Provider to know who the person is actually by using this IP

I suppose u misunderstood my sentence. I said that I don't think the sender's IP wud be there in the message headers. But upon examining a group's mail to me, I think I see a bsnl IP. It might be of the member.
