MZMcBride <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #10 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- As I understand it, the [[CAN-SPAM Act of 2003]] requires that certain organizations include a physical mailing address in e-mails. From that article's "Content compliance" section: --- A legitimate physical address of the publisher and/or advertiser is present. PO Box addresses are acceptable in compliance with 16 C.F.R. § 316.2(p) and if the email is sent by a third party, the legitimate physical address of the entity, whose products or services are promoted through the email should be visible. --- Arguably that law only applies to commercial entities like Google and Facebook, but lawyers will be lawyers. :-) For what it's worth, every Facebook notification e-mail I receive has this footer or a close variant: --- View Conversation on Facebook · Reply to this email to message Some Sender. This message was sent to [email protected]. If you don't want to receive these emails from Facebook in the future, please unsubscribe. Facebook, Inc., Attention: Department 415, PO Box 10005, Palo Alto, CA 94303 --- I rarely get e-mail from Google, but the most recent e-mail I received (something I opted in to, even) included this footer: --- © 2013 Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy | Terms of Service You are receiving this notification for every newly generated Google Account Activity Report. Change reminder settings --- Yes, even with the "©". Silly Google. This bug may be a wontfix, unless the goal is to simply make the mailing address less obtrusive. Fabrice is right that using HTML e-mail will mitigate this annoyance heavily. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
