Isn't it a tad bit illegal to censor private e-mail on a publicly accessible
system short of purging mail older than a certain age (they purge mail older
than two weeks at SIU-Carbondale)?  I mean I thought private e-mail was just
that, private!

Chock up another reason I won't be using prodigy any time soon.

Guess you'll have to encrypt your mail or compress it with a "password" option.
Wonder how Prodigy would like that, hmmm?
