Subject: Re: E-Mail letter of authenticity, was: IANTD(UK) - no way!
Is it really possible for one of you guys to send a fake message using 
the name and address of someone else without knowing the server phone 
number and the password for the account? It is much easier to say that 
you didn't send the message and that someone is faking it when you really 
did send it. It is also easier to open a number of accounts with fake names 
and flame anonymously even talk back and forth between pseudonyms. This 
is very popular among cave divers. If it is possible send a fake message 
from me. Address: rfarb@em*.un*.ed*. Don't send a fake forwarded mail, 
I can do that. Send a fake message with my header and my address. Frank
