I think by far the most likely problem scenario is that someone claims to hold copyright on something-or-other in an old message and files a DMCA takedown notice against it. AFAICT the standard of proof in such cases is "guilty until proven innocent", so we'd probably have to cave rather than argue about it. How are the copyright laws in Canada these days? regards, tom lane
