I am nervous about the wording of the charge-Receiving child porn. If receiving is a crime, especially with email then anyone can be sent an email then busted for it. Soliciting porn would be a different thing and understandable actionable.

If you don't open an email, I don't think you would liable, but that is old legal advice. I had it happen to me once, and was advised not to open the email, because it was obvious about the content. Good point!

It says "Receiving." If it comes into your computer, if you are looking at the subject line on your screen, you have Received it. If the practical meaning is that you also open it, that's good, but if the law is just "receiving" then it will be used for just receiving some time in the future.
