This type of request is becoming more and more common. Although mod_mbox obscures the basic to and from address, there are still two problems:
1. It doesn't obscure email addresses in the body of the message (which could be from forwarded/quoted messages). 2. The "raw" link still gives access to the unobscured addresses. I know there are people who still hold the idealistic view that we shouldn't be obscuring email addresses at all. Although I agree in principle, I think the world has passed that view by. I don't know if anyone is interested in fixing this stuff, but I thought I would at least point out the recurring issue to the mod_mbox developers.

Rather ironically, I notice that my email address has been visible on the mail-archives.apache.org website ever since. Much as I appreciate Spam Assassin, having my primary addr ess accessible to any web trawling spambot rather defeats the whole point. So, could you please delete the address (jens bluegecko.org) from the following four pages: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/200411.mbox/%3C200411 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/200411.mbox/raw/%3c20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/200411.mbox/%3C200411 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/200411.mbox/raw/%3c20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks, Jens Finke -- http://www.bluegecko.org - Traditional Music and Cultures of Kenya - Chasing the Lizard's Tail: across the Sahara by bicycle Mjinga akierevuka mwerevu yupo mashakani When a fool becomes enlightened, the wise man is in trouble ------- End of Forwarded Message
