There are two sets of archives for Amps and *all* of the other
lists at contesting.com. One is the "standard" downloadable
archives: http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/amps/ the other
set of archives are the "searchable" archives:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Amps/
The "normal" archive function of the list software does obscure
e-mail addresses and has done so since the feature became available
in early 2003. However, Tony's comments have caused me to do some
further research. The "searchable" archives for *ALL* of the
contesting.com lists do provide unobscured e-mail addresses.
I will be contacting the software maintainers to see if there is
an option to obscure e-mail addresses in the searchable archives.
Those archives are a separate application and not under the control
of the individual list administrators.
