Email is a means of communication between a sender and a list of recipients( 1 or more ). Marking up the email( header and or content ) would facilitate automation it does not significantly affect the exposure of the information( email ). Not marking up the email would be considered, "security through obscurity". "Security through obscurity" techniques are not considered very strong security mechanisms. Here is a link to the freeware version of PGP. A security mechanism many use to protect their email. http://www.pgpinternational.com/cgi-bin/warm?freeware.warm Patrick Emery -----Original Message----- From: Greg FitzPatrick [mailto:greg.fitzpatrick@metamatrix.se] Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 12:01 PM To: Jim Hendler; Craig Pugsley; 'pat hayes' Cc: www-rdf-logic@w3.org Subject: SV: Semantic mail Privacy versus. Structure? What a sad avenue. Sure, you could keep your room real, real messy or your desk upside down as a deterrent to snoopers and thieves. That is an option - but structuring your life and your information or any other possessions can be as solitary and private as you please. Actually I would argue that intelligent and well formed infostructures are advantageous to privacy rather than the contrary. And for the sake of common courtesy Pat, I would suggest that you should have looked twice at what I have written on this subject before making the absurd suggestion that I am threatening your privacy!
