Further, while the admonition is there (sigh, the whole personal/private vs. public admonition debate again), you're private details such as e-mail address and such are not provided by the archives pages. Even if you explicitly type your e-mail address in the message, the archive software replaces anything that looks like an e-mail address with the below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have archives because people asked for and asked for again to have them. We can please some of the people some of the time but no-one can please all the people all the time. Sorry. -- Leif (TB list moderator and fellow end user).
