q-list spam

[Ero Rademer]

Hi!

One of the reasons, you will be spammed sooner or later on your
q-list email acount is due to the layout of the archives web
pages. I can get everyone's addresses by simply browsing through
the archives with a web browser. Think of a robot examining all
those

pages, simple addition skills suffice.

One solution would be to hide (or better: remove) those email
addresses from the web based pages (Brett? Dan?). I know, it
would hinder those who want to answer an article via private
mail if they don't have their list mails or the digest available,
but... I would prefer that over a solution with a more complicated
"front end" for the archive. It's a mailing list, anyway..:)

(Luxury version: Make an option in the list settings for the user
so he can decide whether his e-mail is visible in the web-pages
or not... Or couple that feature with the "Conceal yourself from
subscriber list?" option).


So long!
Ero.
