Also, munging an E-mail address in a newsgroup message might be okay; but don't do it in an E-mail message. My ISP automatically checks all E-mail coming into its mail server. Any E-mail message from an unregistered domain or an unassigned IP address is trashed without even reaching the server's spam bucket. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
