Elvin,

This wasn't an arbitrary decision.  Both ways have been tried, and, in
general, it was not possible to reliably munge e-mail addresses (and
*only* e-mail addresses) in the archived messages.  This garbled the
message contents, and so was turned off.  The headers are still munged...

There might be a way to find and match just the reply lead-ins (e.g., "On
some date, John Doe <jdoe AT example DOT com> wrote:", or "Not so long ago, thus
spake John [mailto:jdoe AT example DOT com]"), which should catch most of the
"violations", but, as even the two above examples illustrate, the lead-ins
are varied enough that it's probably not possible.  If anyone feels it's a
hassle to double-check their e-mail software, but minds receiving the
'#PCYMTNQREAIYR' link, they should feel free to try fixing the munging
rules.  I'm sure the list maintainers will not mind providing the
necessary pointers to the code, and they may even be willing to
thoughtfully consider trying out the results :-).
