Is there a way to bypass the automatic "obscuring" of email addresses on any of the mailing list servers? Most texinfo patches end up mangled in the archives, and this is unfortunate; some good patches can become lost forever, and some valuable discussion/explanation from the past may be rendered unintelligible.
Mailing list posts (even *this* one) that contain the pattern [character][at-sign][character] are only reliably stored in the inboxes of the subscribers, if they haven't already deleted them, that is. For example, in a recent patch, this line*: -...@subheading Other programs can export LilyPond code *(that's "[hyphen][at-sign]subheading Other...") ...was archived variously as: addr...@hidden Other programs can export LilyPond code - <at> subheading Other programs can export LilyPond code -...@subheading Other programs can export LilyPond code ...on these respective archives: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-09/txtBBpo0VN51d.txt http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel/30791 http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg30847.html Perhaps this is a tame example, but it means that the archived copies of most (if not all) texinfo patches will fail to compile. In simple cases, something could be deduced and manually repaired, but it seems to me that most cases are not simple. Has anyone else found this personally frustrating? Can anything be done about it? - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
