While personally I don't have much sympathy for this, I will be the
first to admit that obfuscation technique used by the list archives is
not very good and easy for spammers to predict/work around. There
are much better solutions (such as using javascript) out there.

At the same time, everyone should know by now that the moment you
email a mailing list your address will get harvested by spammers. If
you don't like it, don't email the list. Yes it sucks, but life is
like that sometimes.
