This is not at all clear to me, and has been argued differently by different people - including more than one JD.
I also know several companies / people who post e-mail publicly. Hell, NANOG has public, searchable archives. Does that mean Merit is violating the law?
Either way, the argument stands just fine if you remove the "post it publicly" part.
