PattyMail
n.— «If you’ve been following the HP privacy debacle at all, then you’d know that one of the techniques that investigators tried on CNET News.com’s Dawn Kawamoto (in order to figure out who her source inside HP was) was to send her a traceable e-mail. In commemoration of the former HP chairwoman that spearheaded HP’s witchhunt (Patricia Dunn), perhaps we should refer to this sort of traceable e-mail as “PattyMail.”» —“Have you received any “traceable” PattyMail recently?” by David Berlind ZDNet: Between the Lines Sept. 26, 2006.
