I can do that. I've also found a searchable archive that someone has
already put together that munges the addresses. Based on Meng's comment, I
think I'll look into that before I 'flip the bit'.
Don't forget how the mxcomp archives have a serious problem with hidden
email addresses--you can not use it to follow a lot of the detailed
technical discussions because the various example addresses are all
unreadable.
And of course it also has the standard problem with hidden mail
addresses--even non-spamming individuals can't contact the senders of
any messages directly, unless they happened to be subscribed to the list
when that sender sent the message.
(I've always generally disliked email munging that merely transforms
addresses to something not quite as easily machine-readable, on the
grounds that spammers will eventually learn to read these munged
addresses anyway, but I'm very much against any style of munging that
completely removes or covers email addresses.)
So, I hope that if you *have* to do any email munging, that the full
addresses are still understandable by humans.
