Can you point me to somewhere that they assert this claim? I know some folks who at least would like a chuckle at reading this. If they really are asserting this claim, maybe it is time ML owners stopped allowing hotmail addresses until MS backs off. I certainly will lobby this list and any others I am on to stop allowing copies of my mail going to hotmail addresses if MS really wants to try to assert ownership of my writings simply because they land in a mailbox on an MS server. As I write this though, I am having a hard time believing even MS would make a claim to own something they certainly don't have a right to own, right out of one of their users' private mailboxes. Please cite your source of this information. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
