It would be interesting to go back to the people who helped develop the very first e-mail systems and ask them what they used at the time, and see if we can find any prior references. I'll have a chance to talk to Peter Salus next week, at SANE 2002 in Maastricht, NL (see ). I'll ask him if he has any pointers or contacts with people who might be able to provide some answers. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
