[Lincs] News Archive, and quiet LUG

[Grahame.Mulliss at ulh.nhs.uk]

I don't have a problem with exposing the content of messages, I will
vote for any solution that will prevent exposure of our email accounts
though.

I was looking at some free scripts to do this when I came across 
http://www.mail-archive.com which is a free mailing list archiving 
service which strips out email addresses from the headers of emails 
completely (but not message bodies). Perhaps a temporary solution?

I wouldn't want to go ahead with this without a general concensus from 
the list though. Is the issue with an archive on the web the risk of 
exposing email addresses or is it privacy of the content of messages?

If it is the latter then mail-archive.com is obviously not a solution 
but as I've said before, there is no privacy on a public mailing list! 
If you want to send a private message then I would suggest sending it to

an individual's email address rather than the mailing list.

Any opinions on this?
