How do I embed an IP address into email
I use remote desktop and untily recentl my email provider added the remote IP address in the header. All I had to do was set up an automatic reply in Thunderbird to a "specific" email address and I could get the remote IP address and hence login.
I do use no-ip but this takes time to do the rounds and get updated.
Is there a way I can place in the email the IP address of the machine in the WAN?
I'm currently stuck after any interruption where the router acquires a new IP address.

This is rather different to a cloud solution.
I have a PC using a dynamic IP address, where I currently use no-ip to provide a ddns lookup that works very well.
However, the process of no-ip acquiring the new IP address takes time. In the past I send a email to a specific address and Thunderbird uses a template to reply. In the past the SMTP servers appended to the header details of the newly connected IP address. Presumably for data protections issues over identification through an IP address this has been removed.
The question still remains, how do I embed the IP address to an email, either through it's header or content?
I think you already know the answer. you can not. certainly not in the manner you are suggesting.
You are wanting to hack your computer using a security hole in email that apparently has been closed. If you can do it, so can others.
