Suppose I get an email saying that such-and-such an
article contains a
false and defamatory statement about Emily Freeflow, the British tea
magnate. I say "sorry I can't be bothered. Go away." Emily Freeflow
sues me and takes my reply to the court in the UK. What do I tell the
court?
That you didn't make the defamatory statement, nor did you publish it,
so you have nothing to do with it.
