Clues are available free of charge from your local USENET archive site.

But to save you the effort, I'll point out what is wrong with your line
of thinking -

| Sender: aem@aber.ac.uk (Alec David Muffett)
| Organization: University College of Wales, Aberystwyth

Wales is NOT in the United States, nor is the sender's machine.  This
is =imported= software and as such, doesn't apply to =export=
restrictions.

Not that I wouldn't mind having Wales in the US.  Or more precisely,
having the US back in the UK where it belongs ...
