Would like to know how I could geographically trace an email

The email is generated with Microsoft Outlook, and I would like to know the location it was sent from.

I know this might be hard or impossible, but can it be done? There is a trace item in the meta info that looks like this:
6dd795986036ca6ce43089e13f4d3dccec92579c5d66f69a2a853e4fc7d8afa5d6b8163c2f93088e350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c

What info does it contain?

For context, please refer to script bellow.

<script language="hidden">
var[0] = 'i mi'
var[1] = 'ght b'
var[2] = 'e in dan'
var[3] = 'ger'
for (i=0;i<4;i++)
{
msg += var[i]
}
</script>

Any help greatly appreciated.

In order to trace the origin you would have to look at the header of the email.
The IP address is in there, usually in a line like this:
Received: from [12.345.678.160]

Thanks for the ip info, but how can I get the local from the IP?
