Real mail addresses in list postings and resulting **SPAM**

Does anybody have a good idea how to avoid the appearance of real mail
addresses in the body of postings to fedora-devel/test-list when people
reply to an earlier message? Could additional technical measures be taken to
remove or alter them such that they cannot be harvested by third parties?
It seems that the problem is amplified by sites which mirror the original
list without taking the same measure to obfuscate mail addresses, e.g. by
filtering out the commercial at sign. Thus the problem is not one of how
Fedora list archives are managed/displayed but rather one of preparing
incoming messages before postingthem to the list subscribers.
Any subscriber could help of course by removing/obfuscating real mail
addresses in the message body before posting it to the list.

Thanks, ~C.
