Title: Winzip & password and e-mail

Aloha!   Just a friendly reminder:  We should not be posting any messages on the Business Issues SWG listserv that are not closely related to the Business Issues SWG's processes and work products.   And, if you receive one that mistakenly includes the BI SWG as one of its recipients, please respond only to those listservs that are obviously applicable.   Any time that you are sending a message to more than one of the SNIP listservs there is a good chance that you are missing the mark.  Security & Privacy may be an exception, since those subjects are sort of joined at the hip.     - Zon Owen - BI SWG Cochair   ----- Original Message -----   From: Fify Taslim To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 8:39 AM Subject: Winzip & password and e-mail   Hello all,   Thank you in advance for all your valuable the responds.
