Which they aren't, no matter how many times you repeat this.
Actually, I take this back. I just checked, and it is easy to find out any email address, although they are displayed only as a graphic. Now that does worry me a little, especially as the amount of SPAM on my mailing list address has increased quite q bit recently. From this point of view I do actually now support a petition to stop OpenSubscribers from redistributing my emails, unless they stop making my email address available. This is what they have to say:
E-mail Address Obfuscation Spam is a major annoyance these days. Legislation is the only thing that will bring spam to an end. Some people don't feel like holding their breaths until that happens, and want spam to stop right now. One popular, but anti-social way of getting less spam is to never give out the real email address. That doesn't work very well with mailing lists. They really need to know what your address is. openSubscriber is a mail-to-web gateway, which means that these addresses could potentially be exposed. Thankfully we're commited to not supporting spam in any shape or fashion... The email address of 'Johannes Gebauer' has been converted to an image to prevent SPAM bots aquiring it...
and it then gives my email address as a graphic. Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
