Without concrete advice that link doesn't do much.
An average Joe has no idea what configuring means anyway, let alone
being able to do such a change.

For example, how do I do that in gmail?

I am an advanced user, but can't find anything related in Settings.


If your email client doesn't help you out here, you're kind of stuck doing
it manually.  I don't use gmail but the reports I've heard suggest that you
need to let your fingers do the work.  It may be worthwhile to put in a
feature request or a +1 on any existing request.

A: Yes.

In Gmail, I do it manually.  It only takes a few seconds.

However, I did just submit an enhancement request for an option to
auto-obfuscate email addresses in forwards and replies.

I expect that's true.  But if it's like some other large, successful
software companies I've seen, a single request for a feature falls
pretty low on the priority list unless there's an internal (or sometimes
external) champion.  Without that, it's the sheer number of requests for
a feature that tip the balance.  So I'd encourage you to add your +1
to any existing request, if that's possible, or to submit your own.  Often
these things just come down to the perceived demand.  Google may respond if
they see a line forming. ;-)

Well, if you post an URL to it, we can +1 it.


On the other side, if web archives are the problem, why not change them?
Some mail archive program have that feature.

We've been down this road before.  If you want details, check out the
email archives.  The short answer is the body of the message is not
touched to make sure the poster's intent is maintained.

Right.  Remember that cygwin.com is hosted on a site which is technical.
Lots of patches and ChangeLogs flying around.  You can't mess with
those.
