An open door is no door - if we wander in without touching anything its OK in
my opinion - I mean he may want people to visit - like a museum. E.g Web Page.

Not locked properly<> not locked at all.

But he did'nt enforce his area - he left the door open who is to think its
not an invitation. if he has a dog waiting fine, but he cant call the cops.
;-) I'll say he probably wanted me to read his mail Like I do his web page.
Thats why a legal banner is important - even if u set no password, it says
dont come in unless u belong here.
