just saw this in the source of the sympa-users mailing list review
screen:

document.write("<A HREF=" + "mail" + "to:" + "olivier.salaun"
+ "@" + "cru.fr" + ">address@concealed</A>")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is a nice try, but it still writes the address in cleartext
within the document. Spambots will get this!

Also, the archives list the email addresses in the clear.

Are you aware of these problems? I think advertising anti-spam
address protection is giving false promises...
