Whatever happened to the plans to obscure the mail addresses in the archives? A simple fix is just to substitute a different character for the @, or (to confuse 90% of spambots) to encode @ as @ in HTML. I change my list mail addresses every year and filter spam with spamassassin, but I must say this is really getting on my nerves despite all those measures. Every day I have to download >100kB of spam over this dial-up link. BTW, Grant, you should look into spam filtering software like spamassasin, razor etc. As Josip notes, "your inbox will never be the same again" because once the address has been harvested, it will be spammed for many years.
