I dunno about you, but i know that Yahoo! Mail (as well as a number of
other web-based emailers), and Eudora (have to admit that I am not as
familiar with Outlook, as a matter of principal) all have 'aliases'.
I don't have to type shadowrn@*****.html.com everytime i want to post,
i can just type rn, or srn....but you have to set them up.

On that point, if a hacker gets his kicks out of doing this kind of
thing, and let's say that he does it more than once, then he could
surely set up an alias for that company. Just type whatever the alias
is (can be as short as one character) and Ctrl + s. Presto, instant
company salary-fued.
