The pipermail munging feature was unusably bad (it messed up Texinfo diffs 
very badly, including in the mbox version of the archive, e.g. "+@node" at 
the start of a line was interpreted as an email address).

I'm very doubtful that munging that produces human-readable results 
actually does anything against harvesters.  Spammers happily send mail to 
addresses that don't exist at all (taken from message-ids, using random 
names as local-parts, etc.); I expect they'll happily try generating 
addresses from " at ".
