From: Ronn!Blankenship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Sooo true.. That last line I read reminded me of the validity of emails in a court of law.

if you don't want something possibly made public at some future time, don't send it as e-mail, period, if for no other reason than because (at least in the US) e-mail archives can be subpoenaed in court cases.
Going Back To Bed Maru
I once had to help a colleague of mine with her divorce case. The evidence: her husband's emails to his lover. And mind you, they were written on his company's email account. They both worked on two different floors, so he made it a point to send his lover at least 3 emails a day.
I had the pleasure, and honor, of sorting through his disks to uncover the incriminating evidence. I have never read such a large amount of pseudo-romantic hogwash. Not even in a romantic paperback novel. The amount of sugarcoat in those emails was so bad, that not even an ant would touch the diskettes. :)
The husband in question was acting all high and mighty with his wife!! Demanding this, ordering that, and he almost obtained custody. UNTIL the judge took a look at the printouts, as well as a peek at the system date/system time stamp on the disk's directory.
Good ol' DOS.. at least it was useful for something.
That was it; an open and shut case.
