The pipermail munging feature was unusably bad (it messed up Texinfo diffs very badly, including in the mbox version of the archive, e.g. "+@node" at the start of a line was interpreted as an email address). I'm very doubtful that munging that produces human-readable results actually does anything against harvesters. Spammers happily send mail to addresses that don't exist at all (taken from message-ids, using random names as local-parts, etc.); I expect they'll happily try generating addresses from " at ". -- Joseph S.
