In some Internet email systems, the postmaster may receive email messages that were unable to be properly delivered by the email system. It is difficult for a person acting as the postmaster not to read such email, since some portions of the email messages may contain delivery error reports. This differs from the usual case in the US Post Office, where the address and actual message text are clearly separated by an opaque envelope (except, for instance, on postcards). Any laws passed regarding email interception must take this matter into account, I believe. -david ******************************************************************** >> END OF THIS FILE << *************************************************************************** Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253 12yrs+
