You're right.  Having the IP alone probably wont help unless it was on
your network.

You might just have to let this slide.

We have the IP address of the originator.  Our admin guy says it's
probably
some poor smuck on a home computer.  Question now is what can we do with
this information?  The average user isn't going to know how or where to
check for an IP address and I believe many ISPs generate their IPs
dynamically so it may not be traceable back to a specific machine.
