Subject: SNET: FYI: email and privacy: our voluntary program
-> SearchNet's SNETNEWS Mailing List
<snip>

>FYI, following my signature here is the
>"boilerplate" we are sending out to people
>who appear to be violating others' fundamental
>Right to privacy, by displaying recipient lists
>in the "Cc:" lines of their broadcasts. Please
>feel free to cut-and-paste this boilerplate,
>and propagate to your own contacts. This
>voluntary program has been a fabulous success
>to date. It is nice to get good news, for a
>change, yes? :)
>
>Here is what we do with this boilerplate:
>
>1. identify in-bound email which displays
> recipient addresses in the "Cc:" line;
>
>2. Use Eudora Pro's "Forward" option to
> return the offending message to the sender(s),
> with their email addresses in the "Bcc:"
> (blind copy) field, NOT in the "Cc:"
> (carbon copy) field;
>
>3. snip away everything following the last
> email address in the "Cc:" line of the
> offending message;
>
>4. merge the boilerplate in front of the copied
> "Cc:" line and associated recipient addresses;
>
>5. do NOT copy this Forward to those addresses;
> experience has shown that they don't like
> to learn about our privacy program in this way;
>
>6. if Internet users are motivated to investigate
> email software which supports the "Blind Copy"
> feature, direct them to the Qualcomm website
> at URL:
>
> http://www.qualcomm.com
>
> This website has a free 30-day trial version of
> the Eudora software, for both Windows 3.1 and
> Windows 95 versions (MAC too!) The Qualcomm
> website is also listed in the registration
> materials for the Supreme Law School.
>
>I hope this helps!

>Dear Friend,
>
>With this message, we are launching a voluntary
>program to improve privacy on the Internet, and
>reduce the quantity of unwanted email which we
>all receive. We are staunch advocates of
>self-government -- the best form of government!
>
>We have decided to focus this effort on the
>frequent use of email lists which are visible
>to the recipient. In Eudora Pro, this is done
>by pasting a list of email addresses into the "Cc:"
>field of a message. See example(s) below.
>
>Eudora Pro, like other modern email programs,
>also has a blind copy feature, which is found
>in the "Bcc:" field instead. This feature has
>the result of suppressing the entire list,
>instead of displaying it to the recipient.
>We used this feature to send this message to you.
>
>Our voluntary effort now is to encourage people
>like yourself to switch to blind copies, if and
>when you decide to broadcast any message to
>a list of recipients.
>
>As part of this program, we are also recommending
>that list server software be modified, so that
>the sender's email address is NOT displayed in
>messages which are distributed to everyone on
>any given email list. This feature of list servers
>would be the "default," which could be changed
>by the user, but ONLY by the user.
>
>If you have received what you might regard as
>"unwanted" email from us recently, it is most
>likely because your email address (and name)
>were sent to us in a "Cc:" field.
>
>Please consider switching to blind copies,
>and pass this message along to your contacts
>who are adding your email address to their "Cc:"
>fields as well.
>
>Thanks very much!
