it doesn't use an email template and that email is hard-coded internally to WHMCS...

two thoughts..

1. if you are using PHP Mail for your email settings, I think it will show the client's IP in the header - specifically in the X-PHP-Script setting output... I can't recall if the same applies when using SMTP to send.
2. perhaps you could add just jQuery/JS to the form to add the client's IP value to the message string before it sends to WHMCS ?

all that said, there's nothing to stop a user hiding their IP by any number of methods - so there's no guarantee that any value you receive for their IP address, by any method, would be accurate.
