As if sent by providence to illustrate the problems with this
recommendation (which, as I have pointed out before, does not
distinguish between private and public communication), I today
received via email a mildly erotic image file.

Points to note:

1. I did not ask for the image. It was sent to quite a few people.

2. My mailer (Eudora) handles enclosures by asking for a filename, and
saving the file to disk, before you even see who the email is from.
Therefore, the image was on my hard disk even before I knew what it
was. (It's called 'Xmas.jpg', so it's not like it's clear what it is
from its name.)

3. It was sent from the UK.
