Sure.  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...  Don't know if it could be
done natively in Outlook...

Yes, I'm aware of that.  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).

P.S. Thanks for taking the effort to research this, BTW.
