I do understand the concerns about privacy when giving details in any post (not just/only header lines).
Normally, I (must) remind myself to review the "More Headers" tab and to turn on/off one or both boxes at the bottom-left there (as the situation requires) before posting. But this is a pan-devel group/list, and I do know the information is needed during these kinds of discussions. ;) BTW, I'm also fully aware that, even tho I'm using Gmane's SSL path, my rough location is always given in the headers it inserts automatically. I believe TOR etc. would be a (rare) way to control (lie about) such info. ;) So, I suppose I will try using TOR etc. if this turns me into a true paranoid. ;D But this kind of info should not happen on "normal" NNTP servers such as GN and AW. FWIW, relating to my earlier long posts about uploading binary files, I have modified the yencee script to add-in many (specific) headers usually of the form: "X-whatever: string" primarily intending to direct the downloaders to further info on the attached files. Such as: - saying to read the nfo file for instructions on how to process the split files, - the password needed (if truly paranoid about the data), - and other such useful items and silly things to boot. ;) (I'm hoping the main author of yencee will see my email about this enhancement to his project. I have tested it on GN, and the tests do seem to propagate thru the worldwide Usenet okay.) As for Pan, tho, we already have a "Custom Headers:" area directly on the "More Headers" tab, and also a similar area on the "Posting Profile" panel. I believe the judgefudge repo already will include those extra header lines during the binary postings from the "File Queue" (obeying the un/checked boxes on the "More Headers" tab). Correct? (I've still not test it yet.) As things go, you'd really wonder why almost every Usenet user does not think to look at the headers for such extra info. :) _______________________________________________ Pan-devel mailing list Pan-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-devel
