You only see the message as your e-mail client composed it (headers and
body). You can't see to what SMTP server it got sent because your
e-mail client isn't on the other side of the SMTP server to capture its
headers that it adds to the copy of your e-mail that you sent. That
would be like asking why a Word document doesn't record what FTP server
was used to upload it to online storage on some file server.

Include yourself as a recipient of your message. When you get that
copy, it went through your SMTP server which added its headers. You can
then look at the Received headers.

I suppose you could turn on logging in the e-mail client but then you
would have to match up the date the message was sent to the timestamps
in the logfile.
