We seem to be talking about different cases here :-)

1. message headers when posting to a news server

The From: header with e-mail address is required by RFC 1036. The
optional Reply-To: and Sender: headers must also contain an e-mail
address (if present).

2. ... wrote in message ... in the body when replying to a message

This can be customized in code, e.g. to filter out the e-mail address.

3. displaying news articles via Xaraya

E-mail addresses can be obfuscated through xarVarPrepEmailDisplay()

1. is unavoidable, 3. is what I talked about, 2. may be what Tormi was
asking for ?
