If you want you can look at *all* the headers any given email has. In 
thunderbird you can just do "View -> Message Source" (or hit control-U) 
- You might be surprised to see how much additional info is in there you 
don't otherwise see.

In kmail I think it is "View -> Headers -> All Headers"

Yes that is correct.
