Hello Dennis!

Thank you again! Maybe my english is too bad, so we are talking about different things. Sorry for some misunderstanding.
Let me make a last try.

As mentioned separately, the email addresses of contributors to the
Bugzilla are visible to anyone having an account, and that satisfies
the ASF requirements for transparency.

No problem, I agree.


Although the HTML files obscure the email addresses, they can still
be harvested from the raw HTML, and the CC: lists are not obscured at
all (and are visible to non-subscribers).

Example:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3560

If I look at the HTML source I can't find any email address. The CC list:
<select id="cc" multiple="multiple" size="5">
                <option value="baumux">baumux</option>
                <option value="bob-openoffice">bob-openoffice</option>
                <option value="bugger_aoo">bugger_aoo</option>
                <option value="chris_mux">chris_mux</option>
[…]

Maybe you have looked at a cached version where you was logged in?


Although email addresses are not strong identifiers of individuals,
association of email addresses with contributors works well enough
for Apache purposes, in practice.

Maybe it was my fault to use the word "hide". I better should wrote "shorten".

Look at your precedent message at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201506.mbox/%3C009c01d0b351%2419fa95c0%244defc140%24%40acm.org%3E

So you will see that your email address is shortened to
<dennis.hamil...@acm.org>.

My email address inside the quoted text isn't shortened.


Now look at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-issues/201507.mbox/%3Cbug-126388-248469-ZzlQH5cCPb%40https.bz.apache.org%2Fooo%2F%3E

You will see that the sender email address from issuezilla is shortened to bugzi...@apache.org

But the original sender address from Regina and all other email addresses inside aren't shortened.


So what I want to know is:
Is there a possibility that all email addresses in mail archive are shortened, so that no spambot can use it?

(It would be a nice thing if also quoted email addresses in messages in bugzilla itself for not logged in visitors are shortened.)

I think there should be a possibility and has nothing to do with privacy statements and in my opinion it would be a good thing for all subscribers.

All things against spambots are good things, isn't it?

Regards, Mathias
