IP address of submitted Contact Forms

I have noticed that reviews have the IP address of the person who submitted it in the Admin. How can I do the same for people who submit questions through the Contact Us Form, perhaps including the IP address in the message sent to the designated email?

We could edit the email's content template* but in this case, it would be easier to make a hard-edit to the code.

In the file /classes/cubecart.class.php, in the _contact() function, near line 1379:

Find:
$mailer->Body  = sprintf($GLOBALS['language']->contact['email_content'], $_POST['contact']['name'], $_POST['contact']['email'], $department, strip_tags($_POST['contact']['enquiry']));

On a new line after that, add:
$mailer->Body .= "\n\nSent from IP Address: ".get_ip_address();

*Note: the template for the Contact Us email is part of the main language pack, not from a separate email language file that got databased during install and is 100% editable in the Email Templates pages in admin.

This language "phrase" is editable in the admin Language Phrase Editor, but will be come corrupted after attempting to do so.

Thanks for your help. I will play around with this and see how it works. The main reason I want this is because I have switched off my recaptcha but now my Contact form is being bombed by spam bots.
