Me neither. Hiding an email address seems doomed to failure. You
can't hide something that other people need to know about to use.

I would like cut and paste to work but accept that life is a compromise.

Just that? Or also including the coupled javascript to enable cut and
paste to work? Without the javascript it is not possible to cut and
paste the address directly. Without the javascript the munged address
is pasted.

Personally I think I would simply let people who want to try to hide
addresses to let them try to hide them (even though I believe it to be
an exercise in futility) and for those that don't then leave things
simple.

That is such a well known address I don't think it makes sense to
obfuscate it. If someone wants to do that to their own personal
address I am okay with it though.
I realize it was already that way before this modification which is a
fix to prevent line breaks because of the already present obfuscation.
I just don't think it makes sense for well a known mailing list
address.
