But it does appear in the downloadable archive at:

Interesting to know.

I doubt there's a subscribed spammer.

Well, the fact remains interesting, whether the spammer got this "address" by 
receiving it directly in a message from this list, or by retrieving the 
downloadable text archive...

It's also interesting noticing that the web archive takes care of masking 
e-mail addresses certainly for avoiding them being captured by spammers, and 
on the other hand, one can get from the same place the complete text archive 
in one single file, with complete headers of all messages, and without any 
masking of the addresses inside it...

Rather paradoxal.
