Hi Daniel,

You are posting to a public mailing list everybody can subscribe to, so
your e-mail address is already known to an undefined and uncontrollable
group of people anyway. There are many ways to fight spam, but
obfuscating e-mail addresses in mail archives of public mailing lists is
not one of the effective ones.
