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.
