I will see what I can do about that.

Well, it could easily be done to search the archive with _at_ instead
of @ in order to gather email addresses. Therefore, I don't see a real
advantage. I think, the only thing to do about spam is to publish the
email address in the form of a small graphic because it would be too
difficult to parse those. But this would be very difficult to implement
into a text based mailing list archive.

I'm personally using a perl script called junkfilter with quite some
success.
