Sorry to tell you , but the infamous "Poor Mans Copyright" does not exist ...While the concept of mailing it to yourself and keeping it in a tight little envelope that's dated and all that sounds great , it won't mean squat in court ... Your work is copyrighted from the moment you write it out ... However , if you pay the $35 fee , you can have your work officially copyrighted ....
I know all of this becasue I went through dome problems a few years back with the "poor mans copyright" - and lost ...
So my advice to you is , if you going to do it , do it right , or dont do it at all....

anyway, copyright it the legal way. it's 2006 going into 2007 man, that "poor man's stuff doesn't exist anymore.
besides, emails can be doctored and attacked in court. us government issued timestamps cannot.
