They get bored ?  I don't know - how does that have anything to do
with this? Surely just about half the world can read my emails already (a
sysadmin friend once showed me how it's done - pretty easy, and mighty
scary), so what's the difference? Or are you saying that they would have a
hard time reading my email because of MS's implementation of this sort of
"lock"? Ha ha. It will probably take less than an hour before
there are tools in the web to break this "protection".
