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.

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.
