However the reason why gmane is "mangling" email addresses is due to the way that the gmane feed is set up:
http://gmane.org/info.php?group=gmane.comp.apache.incubator.ooo.devel 'Encode encrypt' is checked. That means that 'Encrypt addresses': http://gmane.org/subscribe.php <quote> Encrypt addresses If you think that all addresses in this mailing list should be encrypted. This makes addresses look like larsi@rÊõÿá. </quote> is checked on the subscribe form. That can easily be undone/modified by the person responsible for the initial subscribe at: <http://gmane.org/info.php?group=gmane.comp.apache.incubator.ooo.devel&edit=t> NoOp (Gary Lee) - posting from gmane.org nntp
