It's a plausible argument, but not as good as
the counter-argument that most mailing list
subscribers don't understand how email works.
We expect some subscribers to over-quote, use
HTML, send attachments, go off-topic, send unsub
commands to the list -- so Listar has functions
to deal with it.
We don't say there must be a good reason for an
attachment -- often the sender doesn't even know
it is there. It's the same for email addresses
-- usually there is no reason, other than
subscriber naïvety.
I would like to see the next relase of Listar
have optional email mangling -- meanwhile it is
the responsibility of list owners to alert
subscribers to the consequences of their posts,
and to do their best to ensure their security is
not compromised.
