Okay, afraid you're wrong. At the bottom of each post on the mail-archive site there is a nice big button that says 'Reply by email to NAME' (or poster) and when you click it it opens the email browser with the poster's personal email address in the 'to' box and to be honest, I'm fine with > that, and prefer the ability to search for keywords, rather > than having to guess the right month/ poster/ email's subject > .

It's about email addresses being made available to spammers etc. It's something I've never suffered from because I don't have my email address posted anywhere and I don't want to start now. More than anything I object to (am furious about?) the fact that this has been done without our being told. Anita's message says nothing about public availability. I for one won't be posting again NickyW -- ________________________________________ Girlsown mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] For self-administration and access to archives see http://home.it.net.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/girlsown For FAQs see http://www.club-web.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/girlsown/faq-0.htm
