The mailing list has always been archived online, so anyone can pull your e-mail address off of the archive even without the newsgroup. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, since the archives are linked from the same web page where you find about the mailing list. Linking to the newsgroup makes no difference as far as exposing e-mail addresses goes, because the mailing list is as publically visible as the newsgroup is. http://www.winehq.org/site/forums http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2006-April/thread.html _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
