- Isn't it a tad bit illegal to censor private e-mail on a publicly accessible
- system short of purging mail older than a certain age (they purge mail older
- than two weeks at SIU-Carbondale)? I mean I thought private e-mail was just
- that, private!
-
- Chock up another reason I won't be using prodigy any time soon.
-
- Guess you'll have to encrypt your mail or compress it with a "password" option.
- Wonder how Prodigy would like that, hmmm?
