I seriously doubt the effectiveness of simple name mangling.  It is
also the case that anyone on a mailing list can archive the list and
put it up on the web.  There are people that already do this.

Until our setup becomes heavily modified, adding an "X-Archive: No"
header to your emails will keep them from from being archived at GNU,
and at other places that archive our lists (and use sane software).

Our anti-spam server has TMDA <http://tmda.net/> integrated into it,
and I'd like to use it to support the "X-Archive: encrypt" header that
GMANE is supporting <http://gmane.org/tmda.php>.
