Ethics of reading other peoples stamped scrolls

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

That was funny, and new to me...

At n.a.o I encountered bones in The Valley of the Dead. And part of the
equipment the unfortunate hero had was a _stamped scroll_.

Now I am reluctant to read that private communication, shall I ignore it?
(Well, not seriously, since mails at n.a.o are at most semi-private. :-)

But what I really fear is that there could arise a technical problem when
accessing the mail system that way; after all the mail was not addressed
to my account and the game could seriously fail (and cancel all my efforts).

Anyone having experiences what happens in this (or a similar) case?
