Hi Casey et al,

Thanks for the useful information!  I was just noticing that all of our
email addresses are available as-is on the discussion archives
(http://archive.develooper.com/beginners-cgi%40perl.org/) where they could
easily be harvested by evil spam-bots and used to send us junk.

Do you think it would be possible to either hide our addresses completely or
protect them with some manner of "text-armor" (a la slashdot perhaps?
peter[dot]kappus[at]corbis[dot]com, etc.)

I see that we're using MHonArc for our list archiving and it doesn't seem to
support such a feature.  So we may need to hack something onto the existing
system.  If it's a resources issue, I'm happy to help out however I can...

Does anybody else share these concerns or have other approaches for a
solution?  I suspect everybody on the perl.org lists is susceptible to
having their email sucked up and sold...

Many thanks and happy coding,

-Peter
