The address is R13ed, but it includes the '@' in the alphabet, which traditional rot13 does not. Therefore, address harvesters would not detect the string unless the harvesters are customized to deal with mhonarc-based mail archives (which could happen). > How can I remove (or modify) it? By changing the code. I am seriously considering adding a resource to disable the generation of the <!-X-...--> header comments at the beginning of messages. Of course, doing so, would prevent the ability to rebuild the archive database via mha-dbrecover. For now, you can edit the code and delete the printing of the R13 address. If you do this, I seriously recommend preserving the original raw mail data somewhere so you can rebuild archives in case of data corruption or other serious failures. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
