Eudora has a "blind copy" feature, which
we are trying to encourage people to use.
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.
