[comp.mail.elm] Don't fix this bug!

In the monthly posting, one of the bugs in the list was the fact that you
can't forward or print encoded messages.

To you, this may be a bug, to us, it's a FEATURE.

Our users are relying upon that feature to send "secure" mail to
people, so that they can't print it or forward it.  This is a big
bonus to our non-technical types.  Techies could probably get
around it, but they don't usually have anything to do with
security anyhow.  (Just getting them to put passwords on their
accounts is a chore. :)
