Then he needs to mark every message with a Copyright statement.
Otherwise he hasn't a leg to stand on, legally.
I don't know about US copyright law, but in Canada copyright is applied
automatically, with or without the notice. It's kind of like, this
bicycle is mine, even if I DON'T put a sign on it saying so. The
copyright notice is just a warning, or a courtesy, depending on your
intentions.
If he can prove he is the legal author, he has copyright to it, notice
or not.
