I would say the hard copy isn't worth the paper it's written on. If she say's it's an email then where's the email. Without tracking the headers to prove it came from you (which it didn't) she can't prove anything. I could go to any *spam friendly* site and mail her a threating email and spoof it to *look* like the from address is you... The recent worm looking like it came from Microsoft is an example... If she has is a hard copy, she doesn't have anything.

Subject: OT: Legal Email Issues - Dont shoot me :) -
This is kind of a personal issue, but maybe someone could help me out as
it relates to legalaties for email. My x-wife typed stuff up in word to
look like an email and put threats and various obscenties in it. There
is no header info just says subject,to,from and the offending text it
could simply be typed in word (and was btw!:) ).
Anyhow, I went online to mail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, outlook,
outlook express, and aol.com and printed up an email from each to show
that this isnt what an email looks like. I also printed the header info
from both outlook and outlook express to show server transactions. My
lawyer is bringing in 'an email expert' to certify the email doesnt show
anything. Any ideas.. would be grateful
Although this is pertaining to my personal problem, it may be
interesting to know what the law is viewing as a valid email vs.
fraudlent email. I read up on some cases online but most dealt with
spammers and not holding an email for an assault or contract negotation.
Thx to any who have some ideas!
