        Really?  I'd like to hear more about this... my impression was that
laws about email were very muddled and that it's really hard to say what's
legal and what isn't.  Maybe that's just the US... :-)
 
        In any case, I believe Listproc allows a list admin to disable
their equivilant of CONCEAL.  I don't think MajorDomo even *has* a conceal
option.  And certainly if I set up a small mailing list using a mail alias,
that wouldn't have a conceal option.  Why does this law only apply to
listserv?
