If you have the full headers of the email message you can probably 
trace the sender with a court order, unless they are properly 
anonymized.

Short of that, unless you are being harassed or threatened, you 
should probably just let it go.  There are a lot of a-holes in 
cyberspace, you can't spend your life suing them all.

I am writing this letter in regard to an e-mail message that I received
that was very abusive.  I have had no positive response from the many
search attempts that I have contacted.  I feel I may know who the
sender is, and in my wait and communications I have found that this
sender has also abused another beyond belief.  I find this kind of
behavior to be very upsetting, in that someone can do such a thing
through their e-mail service and not be identified.  I do intend to
take legal action in the event I can positively identify this sender,
as it is totally unacceptable behavior and is very deserving of some
kind of  legal consequence.  Please let me know if you can possibly
assist me in regard to this matter and I will be more than willing to
forward the message that I received and can assure you that the other
party in receipt of messages from this sender will be more than willing
to do the same.  Your anticipated cooperation is very much
appreciated.  Please respond to
