Subject: Default value of message-make-forward-subject-function
Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2003 19:05:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xa4r5ab2ug.fsf@xpc21.ast.cam.ac.uk> (raw)


The default value of message-make-forward-subject-function is
message-forward-subject-author-subject. Is this a good idea? I ask
because this means the email address of the original sender then gets
put into the subject field of the forward. This possibility seems to
get over-looked by some of the anti-spam-harvester methods. For
example:

http://mail.gnu.org/spam.html

replaces all email addresses in the *body* of mails with
user@bogus.example.com, and hides email addresses in standard
headers, but leaves the Subject: header intact.

http://gmane.org/tmda.php

seems to do the "@" -> " at " thing in From: headers, bu also leaves
Subject: headers untouched.


One can argue that these schemes ought to be improved, but
personally I'd also like to see Gnus not add the email address to the
forward subject (at least not by default).

WDYT?
