Daniel,

The obfuscation on message bodies is new; it wan't in effect in
January when the reference message was archived. (We've had
obfuscation or hiding of headers for a long time.) You can see the
minor body obfuscation in action by viewing the source of a recent
message. [1] I think it works on HTML mail as well, but have never 
bothered checking.

Now the bad news is that I set up a honeypot address to catch spam as
soon as I added this obfustication, and that's already caught one
piece of spam, indicating a harvest. This is depressing, and I suspect
Mail-Archive will ultimately lose this arms race to the bad guys.

Jeff
