Exactly, and the archived postings from this list at the mac2400 site have
no doubt been harvested many times by now. A good solution would be to
strip the email addresses from those digests before they're made available
on the site (as well as from those already archived). A couple of lines of
perl will do it (and I can help with that if necessary). I assume the
archive maintainers are on this list?
