I restroactively munge the HTML that MHonArc produces to corrupt
email addresses. via a simple sed script. See
ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Kanga.Nu/MHonArc/emailmunge
Note that there is a known problem with this script. MHonArc
fequently (not always) appears to re-write the last N message files
on each run (I presume based on the thread linkages). This results
in some messages being re-written and then not re-munged due to the
filename cacheing done via ./.emunge.db. One of my list members has
hacked the script to work around this (there's a bug report with a
copy of the hacked script under http://www.kanga.nu/tasks/) but I
haven't checked or tested the details of what he did.
