Actually, any of the current ht://Dig developers have access to the
web server, if they know where to find the files on the SourceForge
shell access server.

I share your frustration.  I've edited that page to obfuscate all the
e-mail addresses, and remove the mailto links, which I hope will be
sufficient.

It's unfortunate that the version of hypermail we used for the mail
archives back then didn't do that automatically.  (Those were much more
innocent times, weren't they?)  I don't think we have the original
mail messages, so reprocessing with a newer mail archive package is
probably not an option.  Ultimately, I think we'll need to write a script
to go through and obfuscate the addresses, but until then a piecemeal
manual approach will have to do.

It accepts my mail, and I'm nowhere near La Jolla.  It helps to be
subscribed to the list, though, so your postings don't need to wait
for moderator approval.
