Excellent point. I am as much, if not more, of a spamophobe as you, so
if there's no way of having an archive without spam protection, I for
one will vote against it. Right now, though, I'm trying to find out if
it's even possible. If not, then there won't be anything to worry about
anyway. :-/

Not against having the list archived somewhere but definitely against
having 
my email readily available for a web-based email scavenger harvesting it
for 
spamming purposes.

The few times I have seen list archives available on the web this is
exactly 
what happened! So if it goes ahead please figure some way of making sure
email addresses are not easily available for the spammers to have a
field 
day.

Thanks,
