The "privacy" problem of 1.6a DISTRIBUTEd lists running with SET listname CONCEAL has been solved as described below; the fix will be available in 1.6b. Any user subscribed to a list operating with "Mail-via= DISTRIBUTE" (or DIST1 or DIST2) having done a "SET listname CONCEAL" command to conceal his identity from the other members of the list is going to have his subscription changed as per a "SET listname SHORTBSMTP" command, unless he had requested full RFC822 headers via the "SET listname FULLHDR" option; in that case, his subscription will be modified as per a "SET listname FULLBSMTP" command. In both cases, the user will get the level of header detail that he had requested, but his name will not appear anywhere on the header. If the list is subsequently changed back to non-DISTRIBUTEd mode, the headers will revert to the non-BSMTP type, unless of course BSMTP headers have been explicitly requested. In other words, SHORTHDR is treated as SHORTBSMTP and FULLHDR as FULLBSMTP if CONCEAL is in effect and Mail-via= DISTRIBUTE, without the actual contents of the user subscription entry being changed. The QUERY command will display the option that is actually used (ie xxxBSMTP if concealed), and the SET command will display a warning if the user tries to explicitly alter his subscription to a type of header that is not supported for concealed users. People who are not happy with this solution should send a flame to their own reader, after having made sure to remove any occurence of their name or userid from the header so as not to disclose their identity.
