As i said, I am removing this as a matter of courtesy, so just hold your hoses. Ill comment on security though: 1: @ERIC: I find the security you are referring to rudimentary, two lines of code and i have all email addresses i need. If you look keenly, emails on afraha are converted to images. The Obscure addresses you are referring to are basically a "find and replace" thing, which means reverse engineering will give me the original email. Here is a quick one which gave me about 200 email addresses. a) Go to the list archives and download the .tar.gz of the list. b) open the text file: and do a find replace for " at " with "@" then do that to all and tell me what you see. Now, opensource scripts like sphider (cant remember the url) have everything ready and virtually all you need is to modify code to look for an at and replace with @ and you have everything. Onto the matter of copyright and ownership, I would love some enlightenment on ownership of content in my mailbox. esp with relation to the Media Bill. (and this is just a debate, not an expresson of impunity). @ Washington, back to you. On 7/14/09, Eric Magutu <emagutu@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, We've implemented *obscure_addresses* (privacy): on the the List
Setting this option causes member email addresses to be transformed when they are presented on list web pages (both in text and as links), so they're not trivially recognizable as email addresses. The intention is to prevent the addresses from being snarfed up by automated web scanners for use by spammers.

You're right, overlooked that. The feed should mask addresses.....
Should, or may? :-)
