Email privacy

Is it intentional that when a non-member posts a comment on a blog (or a reply to an existing comment) that his email address (and IP address, in fact)gets sent out as part of the email notification to the blog owner and also to the person he is replying to?

This seems a wee bit dodgy, especially given that, when he fills in the comments form, it expressly says that his email address will be kept private.

Is there any way of getting round this without becoming a member?

Thanks

Yes, it is intentional.

It says that it will not be visible to normal users.

Since each blogger is the owner of his/her blog, he/she is responsible for the content published therein. That is why the owner can see all the details.

But it's not just the owner - it's also whoever you reply to.

Thanks
