I was appalled to find out that the apache archives don't remove email

contact to rectify this?
You're welcome to bring this up on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-
mail list, but it is unlikely to change from how it is.
Consider that the e-mail lists are public and that there are many
services that tap into the archives to allow viewing/searching them.
Services could also simply subscribe to the lists and harvest
messages that way as well.
Hiding your e-mail address to avoid spam is like not publishing your
IP address to avoid security vulnerabilities. Security through
obscurity doesn't work (for long).
