[Coco] No email address to stop spammers.

[KARL SEFCIK]

Hi all, Don't know if this will get through, but some of the spam I get is an alpha-numeric generated address, I look in the address box, and see variations before and alphabetically after my addy, and that happens a lot. So my addy cdiman7 gets sandwiched between variations alphabetically before and alphabetically after it. By the time I got to reading these messages in this thread, I had deleted email like that. If the thread keeps going, and I remember, I will save the addressline to paste in a message here.

Steve,

Are you aware that every message you post to this list goes into a web
archive with your e-mail address in the "somebody at somedomain.com"
format?
