If you indeed notice an impropriety, the digitally signed receipts will be your proof that articles were submitted. As long as the other readers trust me (or Dave Hayes, or whoever volunteers), you will have a strong case even without relying on freudian slips.
I hope if such a system is set up, people who use it will realize that email is not 100% reliable. Just because algebra.com sent mail to toad.com, doesn't mean that toad.com actually received it. A small fraction of a percent of these messages will be lost. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | Client in California, POP3 | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | in Pittsburgh, Packets in | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | Pakistan. - me | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
