I'm not sure what you are saying. If you are saying that any message that you receive from me (either by TO, CC or BCC) is your and you can do with it what you want, that's OK with me. I didn't send it to the ISP for the purpose of parsing it for their data mining purposes, though. If you agree that any mail sent to you can be parsed, you agree on my behalf that the contents of my message to you can be used by thrid parties, and you never asked me in advance. I know that the ISP can read the email anyway, very much like the post office can read a postcard. I am not sure about your country, but the postman is not allowed to read a postcard, even though he can. On top of that, he is not allowed to use the information in the postcard for his own profit. Having said all that, I agree that once the message that I sent to you is on your computer, you can do with it what you want. For example, you can edit the subject line to make it easier for you to search for it. Alas, TB's anti-edit advocates see that differently... -- Cheers, Thomas.
