She doesn't "own" any of the other information and therefor has no right to give or withhold permission to publish. And as for her personal information, if it is in the public domain she can not even stop that. I wouldn't worry about the legal ramifications of her e-mail. If all the people in the file are dead then she has no leg to stand on. -- Gene Y. "Gene Y." <n2kvs@cfl.rr.com>
