Given the list is gatewayed to usenet, i would be a completely pointless
'fix', unfortunately :)

The problem is that I've had ppl request that the mail'ng address be
mailto:'d so that they can reply to someone's mail if they find it in a
search of the archives ...

... now, that said, if someone knows what (if?) I can add to the mhonarc
resource file in order to 'mask' the addresses, I'd be willing to make the
change as well as regenerate the existing archives ...
