Ah, I see what's wrong. I'm posting through GMane and whoever has submitted
this list there, chose the option to garble email addresses, so your links
show up like this:

If the one who did this is reading this, it might be a good idea to undo
this option since email harvesters are able to get the emails from the other
archives (mail-archive.com for example) anyway.
That's _why_ they obscure the email addresses. It keeps the scrapers
off their site. Those things eat more bandwidth than a good
slashdotting. It is done to protect gmane, not to protect your email
address!
It is an option when you submit a list to GMane. Most lists show the
email addresses in clear text. So this not to protect GMane but the
list instead.
