When you want to view an email in Discourse, it’s hidden behind a button.

When a user views an email, it’s stored in the logs.

The thing is, IPs are visible without having to click a button  
But, IPs are freely visible to admins without having to click a button and without logging.

Instead of showing it, there should be a button similar to the “Show” button for emails.

IPs are arguable more sensitive than emails for more users (myself included), so this would be nice to have to know when admins are looking at IPs.
