I routinely ignore requests to go to someone's email box so that I 
have the privilege of corresponding with them.  If they want to 
receive email from me, they will do the work of adding me to their 
list of real emailers BEFORE they send it out.  Asking someone else 
to do your data entry for you as a condition of correspondence is, 
IMHO, rude.
