It's not the from part -- there's a message in the header itself that, 
if copied by an unapproved user (i.e. spammer), they can sue about. 
It's been a while since I even looked at the company's info site, which 
is too bad because if I could remember what it was I'd point you to it 
so you could look over the details yourself. :\

lingo-l List archives?

2002-10-25 Thread Florian Bogeschdorfer
Hi list,

Is there a searchable archive of this list available somewhere? I need to
find a special mail which got lost in my own archive.

TIA, Florian

you probably get it, but your mail program probably hides it.

You can see it if you set your mail program to show all header 
contents. That stuff is normally kept hidden, but when you do a show 
all you can see all the links.

Hmm, I also assumed you mistakenly said header instead of footer. I
wonder why the link isn't in the standard footer that is appended to every
message instead of hiding it in the headers? How many people (apart from
trolls) put useful information in the message headers? I'd never have
thought to look there if you hadn't mentioned it.

I think because Tab hasn't got around to updating it yet. ;)

It's actually becoming a somewhat common practice for listserv engines. 
I think about a third of the lists I've subbed to have something like 
it in place, and more will probably follow as the technology becomes 
more common. I don't know what the rationale is for putting it into the 
header, unless it's to ensure a spammer would have to have a legitimate 
address and account before he could do his nefarious evil deeds, thus 
spamming himself in the process.

I'd never have
thought to look there if you hadn't mentioned it.


Yes, that's the downside to it. ;)

The headers don't mention archives, just list maintenance. But, it's on the
same page. To search, you'll have to download the full archive and search it
yourself (via Lingo is one way ;))

Spot the subtle hint, heh ;-)

Interesting, I'll need to check all my list messages to see how many of them
have got the same headers. Maybe we someone could write a mail client (in
Lingo? :) that can automatically display the links from the headers when
reading messages from that list (little unsubscribe, archive buttons in the
corner of the window). In fact, if only they could add similar headers to
spam...

Funny you should mention that. There's a company online now (I don't 
recall the name) that allows subscribers to their service (it's free 
for individual use) send email through their system more or less 
securely; the mail sent has *copyrighted* haiku embedded in its headers.

The only way a spammer could have such headers (they'd suspend 
spammers' accounts, of course) is if s/he stole the header content, 
which would be a violation of copyright law and open the spammer to 
conventional prosecution. Which the company promises to undertake.

The theory is you get a serverside script that looks for the header 
content and lets it through if it's there, because it's not spam.

Nice idea in some ways. Unfortunately it has some dodgy implications for
legitimate users, so I'm not so sure I'd be happy about that myself. I mean,
if I email you a piece of code, would they immediately aquire the copyright?

No, they own the copyright only on the header content. The point is not 
to control email body; the point is to present a header that cannot 
legally be forged, thus allowing spam-detection scripts to work more 
effectively.

Couldn't it be argued that if they don't own the copyright on content that
isn't theirs (i.e., anything that they would not normally own the
copyright to) then they don't own the copyright to the email address, forged
or otherwise, regardless of their copyright notice? Does the header include
some specific legal information regarding the from header?
