Any reasonable mailer (e.g., pine, mutt, Thunderbird, Netscape Messenger, Eudora, the Bat) can be configured to omit the raw e-mail address when a proper name is supplied. I'm sure the newsreaders are just as configurable. FWIW, I use pine. AFAICS, QuoteFix is a plug-in for MS Outlook that accomplishes the same thing...

But it's my choice to display them -- I don't expect you to do anything about them (except, maybe, optionally snip my signature out of your replies, which, again, most reasonable mailers do). Looking at your Google Groups posting, I believe you understood exactly what I meant -- the e-mail address after a name in the "... wrote" string. I'm mostly requesting this for others, who might unknowingly find their e-mail addresses broadcasted for the whole world to see (since the archives don't do address mangling in message bodies).
