     [nocol-users] mail archives

Hi Nocol People,

A little complaint actually, and something everyone should be aware
off.

I try to be carefull about where I send my email address, since
they tend to end up on spam lists pretty easily if you aren't carefull.

recently I recieved some spam email, and I searched google for my email
address thinking I may have put it somewhere silly.

the results are that the web based nocol-list archives are browsable
(versus searchable) thus all email addresses are visable.

Can I suggest one of two things,

	- make the archives a database style access so web crawlers
	  can't pick addresses so easily
	- mangle the email addresses on the listmembers behalf.

I'm not saying that nocol-users is at fault, tho it IS a distinct
possibility.
