One benefit of having e-mails produced in electronic form is that it permits a litigator to follow the "information trail" contained in the imbedded "header" of an e-mail that would otherwise be unavailable from the printed copy of the e-mail. Determining the identity of the unknown or anonymous person who sent a specific e-mail can be critical in various types of litigation, including defamation and tortuous interference cases.

A benefit of having e-mails produced in electronic form is that it permits a litigator to follow the “information trail” contained in the imbedded “header”[FOOTNOTE 1] of an e-mail that would otherwise be unavailable from the printed copy of the e-mail.[FOOTNOTE 2]
This “header” information may be used to identify the Internet account from which the e-mail was sent because the header often includes the Internet protocol (IP) address assigned to the user who sent the e-mail.
