Even with headers, I am thinking that they would need someone
to verify them... Or server logs or something. All which can feasibly be
forged.

Hi Benjamin,
The phonied up email is worthless as
evidence unless the mail headers can be presented as evidence. The header
information would then need to be confirmed with the ISP logs. Of course,
if it goes to jury rather than judge, she could present a salami with a
message on it and claim you sent it as email.

yours! Spite is a nasty beast.

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!
