Sure. But in France, we have what we call "private conversation"* which rules what is exchanged _between a limited number of known persons_. This kind of conversation is secret, and applies to phone, mail, etc. and, according to jurisprudence (november 2000), applies to email. This means if I send you (and you only) an email, according to french law, you're not allowed to quote it to another person or publicly without my permission, even if you attribute this to me. On the other hand, public posts (mailing lists, newsgroups, web sites, etc.) are not covered by this law (jurisprudence tends to cover them with press legislation), and thus can be freely quoted. In practice, email usage is very laxist and most people implicitly agree the fact their email could be quoted or forwarded. But for some situations, I would not like my personnal emails to be forwarded to anybody ;) * correspondance priv?e -- C?dric Blancher <blancher@...tel-securite.fr> IT systems and networks security - Cartel S?curit?
