This issue doesn't affect me, so the following is just for info.

My newsreader allows me to click on embedded links like these:

mailto:some AT example DOT com
http://delorie.com

The first opens the email app, and the second opens a browser.
So, the 'mailto' with the original address could help some people.

John Levine, moderator of comp.compilers, frequently adds a note
to posts by other people in the body near the end of each message.
You could do the same with the original email address in the
format above.  It's similar to adding an additional signature.

Please also note that example.com is a valid registered domain
unrelated to this conversation, i.e., poor choice, and more spam
for them from Usenet email address harvesters ...  :-(
