--- Comment #3 from eemantsal <infmtk at openaliasbox.org> ---
Silly form... I can't edit my message, so I have to write this reply and spam
your mailbox inncessarily >:-(

Ok, 3 seconds after sending my previus message I realized that I just have to
send an email to myself and look at the headers.

So, then, if Kmail wouldn't send the user agent nor the Message-ID it will be
as privacy friendly as the privacy friendly webmail apps. Great.
But, where can be disabled or customize Message-ID? I've been looking in
identities' and accounts' preferences but haven't found it. Also, don't you
think that if it can be disabled or customized with a generic name like
"localhost", "PC", or whatever generic name is used by the majority, it should
be the default? Shouldn't privacy be preserved just out of the box, not tell
users to change something that besides is not very visible?

Anyway, is more tranquilizing to see that only user agent and  Message-ID are
sent. Thanks for indicating, if not, I'd been convinced that Kmail sends many
other personal info, like I think everyone who may read my post at KDE forum
must be thinking. :-/ I'll write a comment to tranquilize the readers.

Thanks, and I hope it's improved as soon as possible.
