gmail does by default, apparently. I do wonder if there really is a point to masking out the email addresses in the archive. If I were a spammer, one of the first things I'd do is sign up to receive mail from a few thousand heavily trafficked mailing lists (using email->usenet/web gateways to determine traffic levels), and then just add each user that I see to my lists. I would probably sign up for the digests, to make it basically a once-a-day (or whatever the frequency) thing. Aside from modifying the email addresses in the posts re-mailed to each subscriber, I can't see a sure way this could be detected. Plus, I doubt there's only one debian-users archive out there. It'd be hard, if not impossible, to convince them all to change their ways.
