Two things:

1) I received the following letter from a (well meaning?)
   spam terrorist.

2) I have applied Mikael Yount's patch to MHonArc, which means that
   email addresses will no longer appear in HTML comments. 

Note that feature request #3 (easy ability to reply to a message)
remains on the to do list. I really really hate the fact that I have
to deal with this type of thing, but anti-spam seems to be a huge
concern for many lists.

I would just like to inform you that in 1 hour I gathered 248 addresses 
from mailing list archives.  I am a programmer and made a program that 
takes addresses out of text files I copy and paste from the web and another 
to eliminate duplicates and take off ones with .edu and .gov.  Also since 
hotmail only lets you send to 50 addresses at once I made a program to 
seperate them into 50s.  I think for all of you giving away addresses that 
are non- aol, hotmail, juno, or other ones that can be changed easily 
should try to stop.  Mostly I did this just because I was bored and 
wondered how those people got all those addresses.  Anyway...don't be mad 
at me.  I'm not going to give away your addresses to spammers :)
