Speaking from bitter experience (and as an ex-lawyer - 
but don't hold that against me !!), Howard is quite 
correct. The steps I'd take are;

1. Perform a complete backup, preferably to CD, of this 
mail.
2. Print a copy of it, with headers.
3. Contact your lawyer.
4. Contact the Police (in NSW, they have a Computer 
Crime division, not sure about Vic.)

If he uses you as a referee for his next job, I'd 
certainly tell them about it - if you call his new 
employer and say "Listen, this guy did bla bla bla", it 
could be seen as slander and you could get in mondo 
trouble (we have a guy here who used the company 
network to view porn sites - yes, we have proof - but 
he claims it wasn't him and has threatened to sue if we 
mention his name in conjunction with this).

Sorry about the OT'ness...:-)
