Well since you bring up rules... The Debian mailing list code of conduct[1]: does mention: "When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied." But more to the point, I bring this up because you mentioned only email addresses in the From field needed to be hidden. > > > How do you deal with that problem? ;-) > > I do not deal with it. :-) So a number of people who are opposed to mangling code and archive names, and destroying the ability to check GPG signatures of messages in the archives in the name of reducing spam have brought up a number of points that must be taken care before we can consider doing it, and that's the best you can come up with? > It is not users job to make sure no address ever appears in mail > (otherwise you can be sure that it will never come to an end) it's > computer task to avoid it. A few emails ago you believed that we only needed to hide email addresses in headers.

If that's easy, why didn't you include it in your email? There's so many usages of the @ sign that do no include email addresses that you must be extremely careful not to get a false positive.
