Sam2: No one is misquoting anything. The reason why the cherem was instituted is a topic of debate. There is a shita which says if the proper nusach of the specific seal parutz geder… is not on it then one could read it. So the initial source is Rabbenu gershom. Even if the recipient gives permission to read it is still not so pashut another could read it,maybe the sender is makpid.
