No no no no, I am a published author and in that course have done a lot of research on copyright law. I am absolutely the author of the body of the email and retain full copyright upon publishing. I grant a limited right to the list serve to redistribute that copyrighted righted material to list members and for archiving, etc as the list agreement stipulates. It is a clearly understood copyright infringement for ANYONE to redistribute or copy or publish anyone's emails outside of that list serve context. I cannot forward YOUR emails to my mom, for example, without being in violation of YOUR copyright. Registration of copyright is not required. You own what you right, it is instant intellectual property. *the author* is a very specific person, it has specific meaning, no doubt that is why they used that terminology, rather than "the sender" or some other such wording. > The message, as delivered, was written by the list software and includes > portions (but not all) of the message the original sender sent to the list. No, that is incorrect understanding. The author created, and initiated merely redistribution of that copyrighted material through the list serve. The list serve did not write the message at all.
