[tdf-discuss] Re: Document Foundation - list archive - emails in clear

Hi Nguyen, all

would you mind continuing this discussion on the forwarded thread on the 
website list (website@libreofffice.org)?

I just replied there:

It's not easy to keep two threads on the same topic in view.

but in the mail itself it reads:
"Wayne <beerislife@example.com>:"
what seems quite easy to read for a bot I assume.

Providing dead links doesn't serve anything - it could be replaced by 
clear text, as not everybody will think about checking the mail address 
when replying.

I think Florian, Jean and others will be able to copy/paste the mail 
address from the archive instead just clicking on the link, but this 
doesn't prevent any crawler from harvesting IMHO.

If it's possible, revealing the mail addresses only if you are 
subscribed to the website might be a better approach - provided that 
there is no other archive showing the mail addresses directly...

Best regards

Bernhard
