actually, you could get spam because the spammers sign up to mailing
lists and harvest out the addys
For lists like this, sure, as I said. There are also web-based mail
archives that don't obfuscate email addresses well, if at all. But
that's not the case for a company's private mailing list that they use
to send marketing crud or whatever to you, unless they do something
really stupid like send it to a bunch of people in the To: line and
expose the list themselves. Neither of the companies I spoke of did
that, so their databases had to be disclosed somehow (disgruntled
employee or network compromise, I'd guess).
