At the end of each page showing a message there is a REPLY button and a form storing the [EMAIL PROTECTED] == email address. http://www.mail-archive.com/bbdb-info%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg03914.html <form action="/cgi-bin/Nomailto.pl" method="post"> <input value="oub" name="user" type="hidden"> <input value="mat.ucm.es" name="host" type="hidden"> <input value="bbdb to Mozilla (netscape) address book" name="subject" type="hidden"> <input value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" name="msgid" type="hidden"> Reply via email to<br> <input value=" Uwe Brauer " type="submit"> </form> > > IMHO there is no need to have the address stored in the > > from, as a reply should go to the list should come from an > > subscriber. > > I don't quite understand what you're suggesting here.

It was not a big deal as I also changed my last name due to marriage and from that time I only used temporary email-addresses whenever giving away my address to people I do not know. Now I have just 0-2 spammails a day which are easily filtered manually and no false positives anymore ... before I had 2-10 spammails a day not recognized by SA! > and consult your local political representative regarding > antispam legislation. 1 cent for sending one email ... we all know legislation will solve this ... > I am very much opposed to taking any technical measures > which raise the entry barrier for people wishing to > participate in a discussion. There is no new barrier, just no form storing the email-address anymore, so the harvester must be a subscriber to the list, hunting him may become easier ...
