SPAM!!

[Thomas Repantis]

Can't this archiving take place in a more intelligent manner?  For example 
using "user host.org", instead of "user at host.org", "user[at]host.org" or 
(Goddess forbid!) user at host.org.

I think it's embarrassing the fact that in the official archives one can see 
the last of the forementioned options!

If you think this is a reasonable idea, whom should we contact?  The mailman 
authors, the freebsd.org webmaster, someone else?

Cheers, 
Thomas
