        A Halifax man is facing the daunting task of going through
        almost two decades of email messages after his email provider
        served notice it was deactivating his account in 30 days
        because of his email address:  [email protected] "I had it
        since the late '90s, probably 1998 when I really started
        getting online," Steve Morshead told CBC News.  "I asked for
        it, it was available and they gave it to me without
        hesitation."  He said he picked the handle "noreply" because
        he wanted an unusual address -- and back in the '90s, it was.
