OOOOPS!  I recently changed my account, and got messed up.  It should not
be "aurora.sgo.fi", but instead "satellite.oulu.fi".  Sorry for the 
mistake, I hope you did not start to find the aurora in this header
desperately...  :-)

In pine 3.91 (and +) there is a feature in the configuration screen called
enable-full-header-cmd.  This allows you to type and H while in a message and
it will display the full route of the message along with other things.

A partial solution would be to configure your pine with the
enable-full-header-cmd option turned on, and then press H when reading a
message.  Read the Received: headers from the bottom up to trace the
hosts through which the mail traveled.

If you really need to identify routers and gateways, the only tool of
which I know is traceroute.  It is not retrospective, however.
