There are way better methods of finding crackable boxes than reading the
archives of a mailing list. As arguments against making a mailing lists'
archives public go fear of being cracked is probably one of the least
compelling. Moreover, if someone really thinks that having an email they've
written made available via a public archive is going to greatly compromise
their security they should probably have a good rethink about their security
measures.
