The mail archiver I'm talking about obscures all email addresses, even those in the message body.
Here is what it is & what it looks like: <http://www.mail-archive.com/emailer-talk%40eskimo.com/msg08529.html> As you can see it inserts an "[email protected]" in place of any word that has an at sign (@). This includes attribution lines, in reply to, signature lines, and even any word with an at sign in the body of the message. Of the 722 spams I got in the past 3 weeks, I have not received any spam to my list email account, so it must be working. (I deleted all my spam 3 weeks ago so I can't say if I got any spam to that account previous to 3 weeks ago). Thanks Spam Sieve! :-) I do see that another list I'm on does not even try to obscure my email address in their publicly searchable archives though.
