Remember that PCworks had no archive for a period before approx April 2001, even then I have some email backups that mail archive does not have since then ( I save A LOT of stuff, don't know why though :>) but Marlene can clarify the dates if need be. As an example I used the addy of [EMAIL PROTECTED] in 1999 to the list, it is not in the mail archive but I have it in my archive in a posting to the list.
In the archives in 98 - 99 I remember there being an image of the senders email addy, it was on Listquest. Marlene explains the move in this message here http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00000.html (the first message on mail-archive)
And now the "email protected" tag is circumvented too, for example if you go here http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00011.html you can find that even though the sender has "email protected" you can still send them an email (isn't that sweet?,No)
I understand your position but with 90% of all email traffic being spam of one form or another it's hard to steer clear of it. Unfortunately.
Just my Sunday 2 cents <grin>

I've been talking to mail-archive.com about this, and these jerks are basically saying "if you don't like it, then tough". They also "claimed" that this now infamous button now in the archives at the bottom of every single post page "Reply via email to [whomever]" was ALWAYS THERE, which is BS. I've never seen it before, and several that contacted me off list also said they've never seen it before.
To my knowledge Peter, there have NEVER been any email addresses in the archives, not even in the form of images (until this button). Any email addresses that may have been in the message bodies of posts or replies to posts, are replaced with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of the email address, which I always thought was a sensible and great thing. If you check your post below in the archives, the email address you put in your message body has been replaced with this "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" tag.
