Subject: [dcpubs] Who inherits e-mail?

Web servers must hold truckloads of messages in the accounts of people who
have died. As moderator of a new list on a topic dear to my heart, I am
looking for a way to empower someone else to take control--but only after
I no longer can. (Oh, wow--imagine an account cracked for courtroom
evidence forty years after the owner's death. The rulings, the rebuttals,
the authorization battles! Guess I've been reading too many murder
mysteries.)

In a search for precedents for such matters as
they pertain to the virtual world, I've tried
this string at dogpile.com, with no result:
"list heirs" or "virtual heirs" OR "heir to
listserv"
Anybody? (Sorry.)
