[Andy Spiegl]

Hi,

a former collegue of mine discovered his name in one of my zsh-user
postings from June 2000, because I posted the output of <ctrl-x ?>.
Actually not only his name but the complete list of all my local
mailboxes is in the output of course.  I don't worry too much about
that (e.g. because the domain names are missing) but he does and asked
me whether it is possible to delete this information.

I assume that it is not possible, right?
Anyone of you has any experience with this kind of issue?

Thanks,
 Andy.
