mailman.qth.net has the option to cause member email addresses to be 
transformed when they are presented on list web pages (both in text and as 
links), so they're not trivially recognizable as email addresses. The 
intention is to to prevent the addresses from being snarfed up by automated 
web scanners for use by spammers.  But on this list the subscribers list is 
only available to the list administrator.
