Kevin, I realise you're trying to do a Good Thing here, but posting folks
addresses online like that is a no-no. I'd certainly appreciate it if you
followed Chuq's A or B asap**. My webmail account (i.e. the disposable
account I use when I want to post an email address online) is already
plenty full of Make Money Fast and Hot XXX Action, thanks to those lousy
bots (I'll be dumping it shortly). I wouldn't like my lovingly-guarded and
much-cherished POP mailbox getting similarly stuffed up, however.
Regards,
has
(**I'm assuming that by A, Chuq means stripping all valid-looking addresses
from message bodies as well as headers.)
