Actually, no. The Web archives have gone a bit wonky lately due to a Mailman upgrade (I have emailed admins to fix it, but so far it's still weird), but one of the facets of the upgrade is that all email addresses in "From" fields, as well as addresses in the body of the text, all show up as "bbeyenhof at sbcglobal.net" or similarly, so that SPAM harvesters cannot see our email addresses in the archives. In addition, clicking the email address as shown at the top of the post sends mail back to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in reply to the message on the screen. This upgrade happened on or about August 15, but the parser that creates the HTML interface for the archives broke down at that point. However, my point is that, under the new system, email addresses in both headers and bodies of emails is safe from spammers. ------------- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
