Thus the problem is not one of how Most of these places replace @ with 'at' and it is common enough, that matching patterns with 'at' and 'dot' are almost as easy as just looking for '@' and '.'. > Fedora list archives are managed/displayed but rather one of preparing > incoming messages before postingthem to the list subscribers. > Any subscriber could help of course by removing/obfuscating real mail > addresses in the message body before posting it to the list. Except a lot of us believe that this is pointless and it should be on the shoulders of people that don't want their addresses to show up to do the work for something that matters to them, but not other people.
