Hmm. well.. the desired effect from the list looks good.. However.. the 
address is not obfuscated from the actual email view (which means spammers 
can still join the list and harvest our addresses) The Web/Archive list 
rather simply replaces the "@" in our email addresses with " at ".  Not very 
advanced.  I imagine this will offer almost no real protection since mailman 
is one of the more popular mail list packages.

And since I really do not want to restrict archive access (archive_private) to 
members only (we WANT to be able to google for our own meetings, notes, 
threads, etc).. this means that spammers WILL be able to harvest addresses 
still by simply re-replacing " at " with "@".

Dragon..
You mentioned that you worked on mailman in another life.  Is there not a 
feature that will include the username in the reply email, maybe as:
	"Firstname Lastname" <xcssa at xcssa.org>

So that the name is preserved, but the replies are all sent to the list the 
the poster address is stripped?

Just curious..

I'll leave this on over night and get your feedback Dragon.  Feel free to hit 
me up off list.  BTW.. I'm not at work Friday.. I'm in training (if you want 
to email me directly at work).

L8ER all...
