mail-archives obfuscate emails the Right-Way: you need to actually post a form to get an email. To harvest many emails you need to ring some alarm bells. But then again, aren't there some plain mbox-formatted archives of this list? After grabbing such a file harvesting emails is a simple matter of filterring. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
