Please do not! The system works perfectly now.
Email addresses are usually included for a very
good reason; removing them would cause more
problems than it would solve.
The 2 options Learning Stone pointed out seem
very sensible (either don't quote addresses or
else munge them). For more information on

As always, many thanks for the best mailing list
service on the Internet.
