I wonder how they got hold of Linus's emails?

In 1992 an admin where I applied for a job said he had a free OS but I could't convince him to give me a copy. I didn't get the job and I had to stick with MS and DR dos.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

Thats easy. Newsgroups postings are all found on the net since (almost) the beginning and they are public domain. If you go to Google groups then you can find that mail yourself (along with anything else Torvalds has written in newsgroups).
