! What?  Are you somehow suggesting that it is easier for me to hack into
! your mailbox when you are online than when you are not.  If so, then you
! are wrong.  Your mailbox sits on a computer in San Jose and it is
! neither easier nor harder to hack when you are logged on than when you
! are not logged on.
! 
! Of course, you may copy some of the mail to your hard disk and then
! remove it from Netcom's system, but, assuming you are not running Unix
! on your dial-in machine, hacking into that is virtually impossible. 
! (Yes, theoretically, it is more difficult if you are logged off than if
! you are logged on :), but the risk is so close to zero anyway that
! there is a much, much greater chance that someone would break into your
! house to read your E-Mail.)

Don't be so sure.  Vote for comp.cypherpunks and find out why.
