Hello Shridhar,
Philip has a valid point. i guess it is ok if you change your own email id
from your mail client, for eg. it may be ok to make my mail appear to come
from say [EMAIL PROTECTED] but when you change it to make it look like
somebody elses email id, then that is definately wrong. i had that done to me
once by a classmate, sending prank emails to another classmate using my email
id. it stinks, and even till today, the recipient still thinks it was me who
sent her those mails. there is no accounting for how sic some people are.
