What I meant here is that if Jan is really pissed off that his IP address is merrily distributed around the Internet, he should complain with his ISP first, because **they** are the ones adding that data in such a redundant and non standard form that it passes through normal header munging. What I have shown is that everybody who ever receives an email message from that address of his will know his IP address much more easily than it would be possible otherwise.

Try: > http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=58090&raw=true That is the message I wrote yesterday, so I could not have made *this* test when I wrote it. Yesterday I just entered my address in the archive and looked at the first message returned, which does NOT have IP addresses. Maybe the newest version of the software keep more data. NOTE: The interesting thing is that: - both the archive RAW DISPLAY of Jan's message AND the copy every list member receive CONTAIN his IP address in the X-Originating-IP NON STANDARD format - the archive RAW DISPLAY of the message I wrote yesterday contains my IP address in the STANDARD "Received:" headers, those which MUST be generated and exchanged as part of the SMTP protocol. Not in some custom format. - those same "Received:" headers are MISSING from the copy of my message which I received through the list management software and my ISP receiving servers! Are they in your local copy? Translation: most list management software recognize the standard headers and are written to NOT redistribute that information to end users. Ditto for receiving SMTP servers. But all these programs can't run after every ISP that adds its own things, ie cannot know in advance which X-* header must pass and which not. Therefore, Jan's root problem is that he is currently using an ISP which "embraced and extended" the email standards in a way that makes more difficult for 3rd parties (list managers, SMTP servers) to protect his privacy. Hence what I wrote yesterday. Back to your message now: > The OP has a point, why publish full headers w/IP's on the archives? Please quote properly. The way you quoted me and this last sentence of yours make it look like I approve this practice, while I explicitly said yesterday: >Of course, I too agree that information like that should not be >published on the Internet. Of course, ISPs must keep track of communications on behalf of their police, the police can find Jan's IP address in a million other ways with or without his email (especially as long as he makes their job easier using that ISP), etc.... but this is beside the point, it surely doesn't justify publishing those data, as I already said yesterday.
