Internet Bug: Unable to email someone without knowing their
email address
Silly internet, why didn't Al Gore think of this!
The web forum does not expose the email addresses users post
with via a clickable link (so that evil spam robots don't
harvest them). That doesn't mean that they're not available.
You can view the raw message source by getting a post's
permalink, then replacing /post/ with /source/. The email
address will be there.
Just had a thought. You could expose the email addresses only
for users that are logged in. That way the evil robots won't be
able to steal the email addresses but real people can still
access them easily. However, maybe it is meant to be difficult
by design? in which case nevermind :)
