General note: giving meaningful subjects to email posted to public lists greatly increases the number of people who will actually read it. "Hi, I need you to fix..." is useless, I opened this message by mistake, many other subscribers probably ignored it. Which is bad, because the problem is real and the first advice it got is bad.

What does this have to do with the privacy concern? This is about what you _write_, not what you _read_ and how. What Jan really discovered is that when he _posts_ anything, he also broadcasts his IP address. Having two or two thousands email addresses wouldn't change anything, as long as he uses his computer to send email. Or not?? A bit of research: http://www.jufsoft.com/whereisip/mailclient.asp http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13344299 shows that the X-Originating-IP is added by his EMAIL PROVIDER whenever he posts ANYTHING AT ALL TO ANYBODY. Why some providers do it and others don't is left as an exercise for the reader :-). In any case, it has NOTHING to do with OpenOffice, _reading_ email or replies. I have checked one of my messages in the same archive, and I see no equivalent information: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=117127&raw=true Of course, I too agree that information like that should not be published on the Internet. On the same note, has anybody noticed that Jan's message also contained a "X-No-Archive: yes" header which was merrily ignored by the archiver? This second thing doesn't bother me personally, but other folks may want to rethink the utility of some of their settings...
