I would much prefer if EVERYBODY used freebie email accounts as opposed to 
their corporate ones, as this would make it more likely that they would 
quote "correctly" and we would get less silly legal disclaimers and out of 
office messages.

I don't use my work account for any mailing lists because it's totally 
useless for that purpose. I also will participate in these mailing lists 
regardless of my employer, thus I never understood why someone would want 
to post from their corporate accounts.
