Yes, but e-mail addresses in the header are munged. If you include
your e-mail address in your signature, you're on your own. You should
probably consider making it less "harvestable", e.g.:

  dave(at)example.com

or

  dave
  @
   example.com

or

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  (remove "nospam." to reply)

etc.

Well, the spam came to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and that address is only
on the list...

Just a little addition to this annoyingly drawn-out thread...
I haven't received any spam at all since I've joined this list...much
impressed considering my past experiences! I am virtually convinced
that the spam people are receiving is from other sources...I even
replied to this person's thread and am still yet to see any spam.

Maybe a bit of a chuckle and a look at what other newsgroups/mailing
lists/directory services you are on is in order?

Reading headers shows that it is indeed that hotmail account.

It doesn't have to be from that hotmail account, it could be any lurker on
the list, or it could be from the maillist to newsgroup mirror at
