>I could be mistaken on the little details, but I believe that "Expunge" is used with IMAP accounts. With IMAP, you can mark messages as deleted, but they won't actually be deleted from the folder until they are expunged
You are semi-mistaken, actually.:-)
"Expunge" removes the messages marked for deletion from the *current* folder; "Empty Trash" removes *all* messages marked for deletion from *all* folders.
And it's not just for IMAP, but all types of accounts - POP, mail spool, etc.
>Won't giving the source code to a university be considered releasing it?
No. Releasing it means no restrictions, and anyone can download it/look at it. They only leyt some universities/companies see some of the code, and then only after they legally obligate them via NDR.
The article states "While this might be useful for tracking the distribution of confidential documents, it also raises serious red flags about privacy since most people probably aren't expecting their copy of MSWord to announce their reading habits every time they use it."
Oh, please. Reading *habits*? It would announce that you've read THIS ONE DOCUMENT, and when. It wouldn't be announcing the fact that I like to read Larry Niven novels.
Embedding web bugs in a document sucks, but let's be clear about the dangers.
