Beware that it's perfectly possible to insert false headers into an email to make the route of it look different to how it has actually been sent. This usually happens by running a special program when handing off email that has a false trail in it. It does mean though that the real path is in there at some point.

If you're worried or upset by the content of the email then go to the Police. They have a specialist computer crimes unit which deals with exactly this kind of thing. They will be able to trace the source and get the information of the person who sent it. You will then be able to press charges should you wish as it is a crime.

It may be worth doing it anyway - at least you've acted on the first occasion rather than leaving it to escalate - nip it in the bud if you like.
