    From the US Copyright Office: 

          I've heard about a "poor man's copyright." What is it? The
          practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself is
          sometimes called a "poor man's copyright." There is no
          provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of
          protection, and it is not a substitute for registration.

    From Snopes (the "urban legend" people): 

          Not in the U.S., but it might be of some assistance in
          Britain.
