Headers contain a complete record of the specific delivery route taken by an email. Since a full header is mostly computer gobbledygook, Yahoo! Mail shows a brief version of it at the top of your emails -- the date, sender name and subject. But if you want, you can see the whole thing!

For the full header of an individual email, just click Full Headers in the lower-right corner of the page, below the message.
