The sender seems to have an excite account. For my edification, what is the domain associated with the account? Would that be excite.com? What is the IP associated with the account or the message?
You get a sense of how little I understand teh cyberworld

Ok. I get it now. The actual return addresses are useless, they are usually "spoofed" or faked -"excite.com" sounds like an inside joke if you got "porned". However, everything on the internet leaves a tell-tale trail of IP addresses, so those may come in handy if you have recieved something that is prosecutable, which would be kiddie porn, solicitation for the services of a prostitute, or solicitation to aid in the commission of any criminal act. All of those can be turned over to the FBI. They will hunt down kiddie porn like mad dogs, God bless 'em. If you got anything at all like that contact them right away - they have a worldwide reach on that one. On the other stuff, they'll take down your name and number and get back to you. Otherwise, adult pornography offered to other adults is legal, or any obscene text is also not criminal, which doesn't make sense, because kids can get it that way to.
