I used it to send this message to you. I don't use Juno. Does it, or does it not, have a "blind copy" feature too? If it does not, then it can be used to violate your privacy. If someone CC's your email address in a message directed to me, then I will see your email address on my monitor, and can use it to build a private email list with your email address in it. If the original message had used "blind copy" instead, then I wouldn't see your email address on my monitor; instead, I would see "(recipient list suppressed)". This latter behavior is what we are now encouraging people to adopt as a habit, or default, and to avoid "Cc:" as a habit or default. Thanks for understanding. We are trying to shift the responsibility to the senders, rather than to "blame the messengers." I am just a messenger here. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 09:07 PM 7/29/97 CDT, you wrote: > What the hell does Eudora have to do with Juno. > > > >On Tue, 29 Jul 1997 18:21:54 -0700 Paul Andrew Mitchell >[address in tool bar] writes: >>Someone's "Cc:" line.
