Interesting. I looked through all the recent emails I got,
and I didn't find a single one which had an email address in the headers
or envelope. A few domains in the Reference sections, but no complete
email address. Maybe that depends on the receiving mail server ...?

Either way, I'm not trying to argue FOR this anonymizing of the posts,
I'm arguing AGAINST it. :)

Cheers,
