I would like to beg the indulgence of the list owners to share the following information. I received an email this morning which I think will be of interest to a lot of people. >In the past, you've given us your e-mail address so that we could use e-mail as one of the ways we contact you. However, new UK laws governing the use of e-mail addresses by organisations come into force in mid December 2003. This forthcoming legislation means that an organisation within the European Union cannot e-mail you unless you explicitly opt-in to receive e-mail communications.< Regards Lucille
