Actually, you are overlooking a third option:
This post is being sent from my desktop via a Comcast Cable IP, which
you will find nowhere in the header. Instead, you will see that it
originates on the exim server itself, located about 800 miles away.
I send and receive all email using an SSH tunnel between my desktop and
the server.
Although I have never done this with mobile devices, a quick web search
will show you that SSH is readily available for a variety of mobile
devices.
