OT..haven't read about that bill, but the postal service is trying to start a service with 'guaranteed delivery and certification' of email for a fee...no thanks, govt or private service (whichever you are), it works fine the way it is. We don't need no stinking fees and lousy service. S.

It's a hoax. There is no Bill 602P. For more info go to: urbanlegends.about.com OR urbanlegends.com OR snopes.simplenet.com (scroll down towards the bottom) Chris

OT** urbanlegends.about.com HOAX.......and did you also...know that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary? U.S. Postal Tax on Email? Posted: 05/22/99 Here's an item straight out of the hoax recycling bin. A "new" email forward claims that the U.S. Postal Service is attempting to levy a 5-cent surcharge on every email delivered within the United States. Funny thing is, a virtually identical message circulating one month ago claimed that the same thing was about to happen in Canada. False, in both cases (see comments below).
