There isn't any obfuscation if someone forgets to PCYMTNQREAIYR. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00258.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00525.html Nor is there any generic way for the mailing list to know if your mailer adds custom X- headers with your email address in plain: http://www.cygwin.com/cgi-bin/get-raw-msg?listname=cygwin&date=2005-03&msgid=1 110016059.JPMCYAFVMHSL%40spammotel.com (although you could argue that X-Sender is commonplace enough that it should be added to the list of mungeable headers). > My current Cygwin e-mail address will self destruct within 5 minutes from > sending this e-mail.
