You can reduce Red Hat liability by ensuring the initial "welcome
to this list mail" let's them know the risks.  At some point, the
auto-munging will no longer work so warning folks ahead of time
may save some aggravation later.

WRT the actual request, if there's no easy way to post-munge
old archives, you could make the archives unavailable without a
username/password (often just simple .htaccess passwd auth with
the username/passwd in the login prompt).  Downside is this kills
having the archives in search engines.  Upside is you shouldn't
have to deal with these requests.
