How extraodinary.
The mail headers show that your messages were routed through the
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory BITNET gateway, a government sponsored
research institute. This is a very popular route (since it is currently
free), and I've never heard of any mail being stopped, or users being
threatened by the Foreign Office!
I wonder if RAL have installed software for checking keywords in mail
messages (SDI, nuclear power, sabotage, etc. etc.)?
