Yes, but in case an email actually IS sent to someone and is supposed to be confidential, the recipient can point to the posting with that message on netnews, and show that that notice is actually meaningless since it is attached to stuff which is clearly not confidential, and thus by misuse they have negated the whole purpose of the message. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
