Would anyone object if I added a filter which munged email addresses
that show up when the email contains something like:

Or filtered any email address that comes after a '>' at the beginning
of the line?

This would leave ChangeLogs and 99.99999% of source code intact.

I assume you mean to do this with some mhonarc settings.  I don't
mind - my only concern is messing up posted diffs.  Are you going
to also modify the "raw" messages?

I hadn't really investigated.  I was even thinking about modifying email
as it comes in so that it never shows up in an inbox with obvious email
addresses, given the rule I mentioned.

Urgh.  This would screw up old style diffs wouldn't it?

>Are you going to also modify the "raw" messages?

I guess we'd have to for it to be effective.  Hmm.  Maybe this won't
work for the case of

>foo@bar.

I hadn't thought of that -- but if an @ sign is in the middle of
a source file (they show up all the time in Objective C at least :), 
if a diff to that code went through the munger it could make
the diff not apply correctly.

Old-style diffs are uncommon.

OK, I wasn't paying attention.

I agree old style diffs are uncommon, and will be poo-pooed if someone
actually sent them so it could be a "you get what you deserve" kind of
result. :-)
