An interesting (but gory and grotesque) San Jose Mercury news article
about how police in California were able to track down and capture a
murder suspect who was using the free HotMail Internet E-Mail service
via public computers in the UC Berkeley library (the guy didn't realize
that the IP address of the originating computer is captured and logged
into the message Received: headers...).
