I have helped administrate a mailing list covering issues around ICT development in the Burngreave Area of Sheffield.

Back in June 8, 2001. A message was posted to it giving information on the Computers Within Reach Scheme. This was a scheme where second hand PC's were refurbished and redistributed to people for £50 ( you got a copy of win98 word 2000 a modem and a printer ).

Now funded organisations associated with the project are receiving email from the DFES asking them to take down the archive page of the messsage.

here is the archive page
 http://cgi.inetd.force9.co.uk/cgi-bin/bitpart/showmsg.pl?193

Its clearly dated, is titled "message archive" and is clearly not associated with the DFES

and here is the a copy of the message recd from DFES (with names removed to protect the guilty )
