excellent point. how could i forget?
i forgot the names (AOL and CompuServe?) the two landmark
cases, but when you start messing with the content you
expose yourself to liability. scary!
but if say <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gets spammed with 200 (or 2000)
copies of the same message (god forbid!), you'd have to do
something about it, right?
(like, delete all but one == leave just one copy.)
