OK, people, once again:

Telling somebody a piece of copyrighted information is "fair use" and allowed.

Posting copyrighted information on a public e-mail list constitutes 
"publication" - whether for profit or not, it's irrelevant. (You 
can't publish it i n your church newsletter either.)  Publication of 
copyrighted information is a violation of the copyright.

Now let's bury this once and for all.
