Personally, I think it's a little rude / presumptuous of a list admin to make 
this sort of change without consulting the list members.  Especially when the 
reason for doing so is to work around what would seem to be a trivial "bug" 
in their own email client.

I for one would _much_ prefer to see the address visibility restored.  

I don't know about other people, but I tend to pay more attention to posts 
from people I either know or know of (by reputation), and when glancing at 
incoming message headers, seeing a familiar email addy is a quick flag to 
think "hey, this might be worth reading"...

just my 2c worth
