     I think there might be some confusion.  Red Hat *does* munge e-mail
addresses when you view their archives.  As an example, see this post:

<http://www.redhat.com/archives/taroon-list/2004-October/msg00344.html>

I cannot speak about the other mailing list archives you mention,
because I am not subscribed to them.  However, of the four mailing lists
I do subscribe to, one requires a reader to be a member before one can
read the list archives on the web, two munge the sender's e-mail address
in the archives, and one (WBEL) puts the sender's e-mail address out in
the clear.
     I use a separate e-mail address for each mailing list.  The WBEL
one is the only one from which I routinely receive spam.  (Not a lot,
thankfully.)

     It would be nice if the e-mail addresses in the WBEL mailing list
archives were munged.
