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

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

Thanks

This is simply to make it easier to report spam or offensive comments.

Fair enough - I'll just get interested party to ensure that he uses email address with a wee bit less personal info in next time...

Thankyou :)
