Can Dr. Bob read Babble-Mail?

Posted by llrrrpp on May 25, 2006, at 22:30:04

I assume Dr. Bob doesn't read B-Mail, but could he, if he wanted to? are they stored on a server somewhere, for all eternity? are they archived with our babble id's? or only the encrypted fingerprint code?

When Bob enabled Babblemail, way back when, I believe he said that he couldn't read it if he wanted to. All he gets is a record that a message was sent from Poster A to Poster B, with a fingerprint value that I presume includes a checksum (so you can't lie about what somebody said, either). If somebody let's say complains about uncivil content, you must send a copy of the offending item to him. He can then determine who poster A is, who poster B is, and whether the message matches the fingerprint.

It is totally blind to him, as far as I understand it. There is no archive for these messages, except the fingerprint register.
