Interesting query. Suprising, but though I have known that its possible to spoof someone's email when sending an email, I have never to bother thinking if the person who sent out the email is really who he says he is. I guess because I dont think I am important enough for some onee lse to impersonate
The funny thing is that sometimes, we have spoofed a person's email by opening an account in OE6 and sending mails from there. However, it has always been on a person's request. Now that I think of it, it would be very easy for me to send out this very email to the list as Trevor instead of Saswata (without digital signatures to authonticate)
Regards Saswata

How many of you'll really bother about the credibility of the mail that comes into your mailbox..????
Just a casual question....so chill.
