Do the subscribers agree with you on that?

Previously I acted similarly, even if the obfuscation I applied was 
combined with working mailto links. However, spam is an increasing 
problem, and I have reconsidered that approach.

If you run a mailing list, the subscribers can use the info on the email 
messages to contact *each other*. But are there typically strong enough 
reasons to provide email addresses in a publicly available list archive? 
In my opinion, considering the aggressive spammers: No!

Accordingly, I have found MHonArc's spam mode conversion well fitted to 
its purpose.
