Your thought was correct about OBSCURES is No. With respect to OBSCURES is Yes, we can't leave the unmunged poster's address in a mailto: link because even though it isn't visually obvious on the page, any harvesting robot will see it in the HTML as a valid address, so in this case we replace it with the list posting address in the mailto: >>> If he looks closely, he notices the URL of that link is: >>> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Interesting >>> Idea&In-Reply-To= >>> He's going to think, "if I click that, it's a new message to the >>> list, >>> joining this conversation." >>> >>> Neither of his thoughts are right. >>> >>> I'm thinking the text of a mailto should always match the url >>> address. >>> Otherwise it's misleading, because most people will only see the >>> blue text. >>> If you see the link joe.user at domain.com then you think it >>> generates mail >>> to joe.user, not to some other address. >> >> Good point. > >If I'm making a suggestion for future release...
