Bob J> In the meantime, early adopters of this brave new world need not be
slowed down at all by such discussions. PEM is out there and can be
used, if perhaps not for legally binding purposes as yet (ask your
lawyer).
Quote from Diane Sebold Esq. in Design News 12.6.93
e-mail has become popular with lawyers looking for the proverbial
"smoking gun" to win their case. In fact, e-mail messages have been
used as evidence in a wide variety of cases ranging from employment
discrimination to misappropriation of trade secrets to contract disputes.
It seems that when you ask the lawyers whether e-mail (and PEM) has
any legal basis, you must also state whether you are the plaintiff or the
defendant.
