Not sure if I could send them.  They were from the time when I was acting as an 
assistant to Bob Satti and was sent copies of correspondence in a couple of 
cases.  Some of the others were in an archive that was set up for the benefit 
of the RC/NCs and should be around some systems still.

Basically, Bob Satti didn't believe in complaints based on echomail content 
unless there was clear evidence that deliberate attempts were being made to be 
excessively annoying. Nor did he consider uuencoding as encryption since the 
utilities to uudecode messages were commonly available.

What?  And leave your system with no raison d'etre?  ;-)
