Nick, please fix your mail software.  It's nice that you applied the 
patch, and all, and I realize that using a public mailing list, as I do 
often, puts one's email out there for the harvesters.

But at least the sourceware and gnu lists munge the addresses in the 
headers before archiving them:

# From: Alan Modra <amodra at bigpond dot net dot au>
# To: "H. J. Lu" <hjl at lucon dot org>
# Cc: Richard Henderson <rth at redhat dot com>, binutils at sources dot 
redhat dot com

This munging, according to a CNET field test, is surprisingly effective. 
  However, if you embed somebody's email address in the subject line it 
does not get munged.

I realize that any spammer could simply sign up to any mailing list to 
harvest a ton of valid addresses.  But please let's not make it too easy 
for the web spiders.

Thanks,
Chuck
