Prompted by this thread and taking on board some of the ideas expressed in the discussion I have posted the following patch for MM 2.1.3 on sourceforge:
[ 850805 ] Aggressive anti email address harvesting measure
This patch appears to fail to distinguish between email addresses and Message IDs.
And ...
In the interest of simplicity it doesn't attempt to. But how important a matter is that?
This is a rendering filter which leaves the underlying archived material intact in the archive and handles both the archive's html pages and the downloadable text version of the period archives. It has no impact on any processing undertaken at the server end on the archive material, which might depend on the Message IDs, thread identification by the archiver for instance.
My mail reader will still identify threads in filtered, downloaded text archives when treated as an .mbox, although I grant that the chances of Message ID collisions must be increased by the filtering.
