In fact, I'm not completely sure that this email-hiding stuff was 
working correctly before. I think it was the case but I don't remember 
very well how it was.

In fact, the setting seems not to be changed but while the privacy 
option "hide email address" is activated, we can get full email 
adresses by reading each archive files. For example, the archives of 
July of savannah-hackers.

Anyway, in any case the email address shouldn't be showned as it exist 
(but modifyed, for example rao .AT. gnu .DOT. org   - in a way that 
does not help robots to fetch it) . This shouldn't be an option for 
mailling-list admin since every user that write to a @gnu.org 
mailing-list should have the garanty that everything possible to avoid 
spam is done.
