Basically what the title* says…

If you use the defaults setting from a fresh install of MC and create a MC message ‘out of the box’ you will end up with violations of user privacy. See Related issues.

To keep the issue clean, see first comment for my initial thoughts.

* Original title: Configure MC so the initial installation creates no privacy violation issues
