  Look for an option like "POP" or "POP3" download.  This is the most common 
way for email programs like Outlook (there are a number of other choices) to 
retrieve email from a remote service and store it locally.

  Notices like this are often attached to outbound emails from work systems. 
 They're *probably* unenforceable -- I know of no case where someone has 
tried.  The terms that they typically try to claim -- "any dissemination, 
distribution, or copying of this e-mail message is strictly prohibited" -- 
are in direct conflict with the terms under which our lists operate.
  IF this postscript means anything, besides a waste of bandwidth, it means 
that your employer doesn't consider participation in lists like this a 
legitimate use of your work email account (which they provide).  [Although 
the employer can't possibly enforce these terms against the list, they may 
be able to come after YOU for violating their policy....]  So if your 
employer does this, I recommend using a free web email account (HotMail, 
Yahoo, GMail, or whatever) as your list subscription address.
