besides its one reason Intel has problems with the P3 in Europe: that
serial number and why real Audio has that fuss.
I strongly suspect that having this identifying number is quite
illegal in the EEC...
But as Alexander says, there are many better ways to accomplish a
anonymous message and I wouldnt use windows for it either.
You can send email via IRC and many other ways and if one doesnt want
to look the same, donot use the same emailer. Settings will betray you
as well.If one wants to look different, do it properly.
Best regards,
