Sounds good to me, Chris.
I've been here since 1999.
Glad you did this.

Subject: [META] Other mailing list ideas


I'm toying with the idea of having the mailing list software munge
certain types of mailing list addresses in the body of a message
as it comes in, before it is archived or sent out.

The patterns I'd look for are something like:

  aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org writes:
munged to
  aaaspam writes:

  <aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org> writes:
munged to
   aaaspam writes:

  Albert A. Aspam <aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org> writes:
munged to
  Albert A. Aspam writes:

  >.*aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org
munged to
  >.*aaaspam


  From: Albert A. Spam <aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org>
munged to
  From: Albert A. Spam

  From: <aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org>
munged to
  From: aaaspam

etc.

Any objections to this?  This should leave email addresses in signatures
and in ChangeLogs alone while catching the majority of the abuses, I think.

We'd also talked a while ago about adding something like a --EOF-- flag
which could be put in a message to cause the mailing list software to
ignore everything after that point.  This would allow the opt-in removal
of those multi-line disclaimers that everyone loves.
