Same here, though it concerns me a lot less now that I post from a non-existant address. It /is/ possible to configure pipermail (the archive management software which comes with GNU mailman) to obscure e-mail addresses, however the feature is broken in all releases of GNU Mailman prior to I think 2.1.0 or so. BLU uses 2.0.6 which is b0rken. An upgrade would be necessary to fix the problem. -- Derek D.
