Actually, it's quite simple. When you have the individual email open, select to view the "Long header" in your tool bar. It will show the original IP address of the sender. Here is an example of what a long header looks like in the address portion:

I highlighted the relevant line in red text.
Hope that helps,

Note: A regular header would look something like this:

Subject: Check out my Facebook profile

Note how the IP address, and other info is missing.
