I did write and will post the hardcopy reply when it arrives:
Thank you for writing to President Clinton via electronic
mail. Since June 1993, the President has received over 2.3
million messages from people across the country and around the
world. Online communication has become a tool to bring government
and the people closer together.
Because so many of you write, the President cannot
personally review each message, though he does receive samples
of his incoming correspondence. The White House Correspondence
staff helps him read and respond to the mail. All responses are
mailed via the U.S. Postal Service. This is the only electronic
message you will receive from whitehouse.gov. No other message
purporting to be from the President or his staff with an address at
whitehouse.gov is authentic. If you have received such a message,
you have received a "spoof."
We appreciate your interest in the work of the Administration.
Sincerely,
Stephen K. Horn
Director, Presidential E-mail
The Office of Correspondence
