There was a documentary "Rogue Mail" shown on the BBC (UK television)
in June 2003, which prompted this post:

This was my comment at the time:

Perhaps it would be worth contacting the BBC. If I'm mistaken, and the
film I remember wasn't shown by them, then I would have only seen it
on Channel 4, or possibly ITV.
