If you are aware of further ways that "would be APARable", I'll
suggest that it's your ethical responsibility, not to disclose
them or even hint of their existence in a pubic forum, but to
initiate the APAR. I'd guess Walt F. could suggest secure channels
for a PMR that contains information that shouldn't even be known
to IBM L1.
I would probably just suggest opening a PMR via the usual IBM Support
Center channels.
(But how do we know that we can trust what Walt
appears to say, any more than the E-mails I regularly receive
telling me I must log in to revalidate my account)
You can probably tell from the email headers, with a reasonable amount
of certainty, that this reply at least came from IBM. I would send it
with an S/MIME digital signature, which would prove it came from me (or
at least, from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) except that:
(a) mailing lists generally mess up S/MIME signatures when they forward
the mail to list members; and
(b) ibm-main specifically rejects S/MIME mail (or perhaps all mail with
attachments; I have not done a detailed experiment.)
