That's a very clear sign that we did something wrong by implementing half of an email system ;-) maybe we should drop that kind of user messaging and just configure a mailer to forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the appropriate E-Mail address. Would probably get us into quite some header rewriting mess though, and loads of people would disclose their E-Mail address without wanting to do so... then again, maybe we have our priorities wrong between community and privacy; we have seen this with the "make my edits public" thingie which, with hindsight, should never have been there - all edits should have been public for everyone. Perhaps it is the same with all this pseudonym stuff - "you can contact any contributor but in doing so your E-Mail address will be revealed to him" does not sound like too much to ask - you can't go to a mapping party without revealing your face either.
