Hmm, I wonder how many of the people who think e-mail is different
than US Mail (at an ethical level, eg. postal workers reading your
mail) also have told their users that the reason they won't retrieve
their mail they wished they hadn't sent is cause it's like the post
office, once it's in the box it's gone (spooled systems where it could
have been retrieved by a local s/a.) Just wondering, I've heard it.
