Sure they could. If the members' email addresses were only available to the members (rather than being available via Usenet/Google News, public archives, etc.) we wouldn't become spam targets. I agree the list archives need to be public, but it wouldn't be very hard to either convert the email addresses to an image with a random background (much the same as what's being used for verification these days on many sites) or to not show them at all.
This being portrayed as the user's fault is bullshit. Having to install software on your server because of a mailing list is *not* an acceptable answer. And, of course, not all of us run our own mail servers, so we don't have the option of installing filtering server-side (Earthlink's spam-killer offering is too restrictive and has given false positives for me.)
>And stop using Outlook, get a decent(secure) email client.
I totally agree... but, even with a decent email client, dialup users will still have to wait 10-15 seconds per infected email for the download to complete.
The system is broken, and needs to be fixed. This is *not* an end-user problem...
