[Sigia-l] a plea regarding the list archive & junkmail

[Timo]

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, and only to this address which
is almost exclusively used for this list.

Is it not possible to encrypt the email addresses using something like this:
http://www.hivelogic.com/safeaddress/
or to remove the email address without removing the name? Searching by
author would become possible again, and a few google searches would reveal
contact information on that person.

Regards
Timo
