Re: Sincerely yours, *Not* Osama bin Laden? (RISKs 21.68) >A Filipino in Belgium ended up in jail after *receiving* a joke e-mail It turns out on reading the article that the message in question was an SMS text message sent on a GSM phone. I cannot believe that the people who (in the name of freedom of course) monitor telephone traffic are grepping SMS messages for "Osama bin Laden", on the off chance that he signs them himself. But if they are doing so, I guess they're reading this too, so "hi guys" ! Nick Brown, Strasbourg, France [Nick Brown via risks-digest Volume 21, Issue 69] 0:00 # G!
