Yes, I'm aware of that unfortunate history. However, there's no reason to make the list less useful, just to protect email addresses.
I suppose you are the list owner making this unilateral decision for everyone?
If not, more useful out weighing email address protection, for whom exactly?
I am unsure what allows you to make these decisions, define these issues for others, when the current decision was discussed and the choice made. Nothing presently prevents individuals from placing anything they wish into the body of their posts.
While I agree with the deission to remove email addresses it was also requested at that time that people use some form of identification even if it is just a name or handle in the body of the email. It does make folowing threads somewhat easier and I see no realistic reason not to put some form of signature in.

Adding an identifying signature (however obscure) lets folks follow conversations more easily. If I know that the "FredQ" who posted one message posted another one earlier, it gives me useful context.
