I believe that is a small proportion of the messages and does not
justify the proposed disclosure by default. It would be interesting
to get those messages published, but is the existing process of
contacting authors really the blockage?

Maybe it's not the inspiration, but as a side effect, it publishes
confidential information without the senders' permission. It needs
amending.
