Hi Jamie,

I recently changes the '#', turning it into a whitespace. Is there any
better solution to this? From what I can gather, many people reply on
list and quote E-mail addresses (in explicit form) in the message
body. Arguments about hiding of one's E-mail address are similar to
X-No-Archive, where one reply to a X-No-Archive'ed post makes it
entirely visible.
