That's true but aren't the feds already able to request that as metadata?

I meant the other party that you are talking too. For example I initiate a conversation with you and now I know your IP address. This was a problem with Yahoo! Messenger which was P2P.

Probably, but a random stalker can't, and your local ISP / network snooper can't tell who you talking to either.

OTOH, many email providers do include the sender's IP, so it doesn't seem like a deal-breaker.
