[there are many different archives and some do some anti-spam measures..
to strip or obfuscate e-mail addresses before mail is sent
out, is really not an option!]

(yes, but *all* of them would have to do it; and do it so
smartly that smart address collecting software cannot
regenerate it; ... )

Bert's remark was very much on point: Using a yahoo or gmail or

full name (and often affiliation) as "signature".
It not only netiquette, it's real life etiquette to not send
anonymous letters....
