It turns out it actually makes a deliberate effort to foil spam harvesting bots by encoding the email as a series of HTML character entities. Smart browsers handle it, dumb spam harvesters probably not -- if you take a look at the page source, you'll see the "mailto" link is actually: vos-d@interreality.org If people really want, I can still modify it to obscure the email addresses further, but this seems to be pretty effective... ___ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d

Here's an RSS feed for the vos-announce form/mailing list: http://interreality.org/announce.rss (actually, it's an alias for the RSS feed that the forum software generates, but this abstracts that in case we change forum software or whatever. vos-d also has an rss feed, just go to its forum page to get it.)

Re: [vos-d] Forums integrated with mailing lists
I think it would be ok to just black it out (e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). It's not that useful to have email addresses visible, this is just an artifact of how some email clients do replies.

Hi Peter, I hope the mail addresses are not open readable in forum then, or we might get a lot of spam here soon?
