That's about it. They might also get another email account on an online service like compuserve (which has userID's like [log in to unmask]) which is pretty incomprehensible. email addresses can be somewhat geographic and it is possible to search the domain name. However, email address on compuserve and AOL appear the same from anywhere in the world, and if you don't enter yourself in their user directory, you can't be looked up. Also, they might try sending through an anonymous remailer, but that will not work unless you have Send=public, as their sending address would change each time. In your situation confidentiality is obviously important, but email was never designed to accomodate it. ________________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............
