Keith, Is it possible to hide the senders email address when posting to the list? I like the searchable archives and have used them in the past as they hold a wealth of information. My only concern, and correct me if I am wrong, is I believe both the M-List and the Archives expose a person's personal email address. Being a tech guy I think it would be better not to expose email addresses to the public and wanted to ask regarding. Thanks for the work you do in supporting the M-List for all these years!

I agree with the others who have chimed in. Open the archives for searching to anyone. If you work for the CIA use a different name! ;) Mark Dvorscak Proud to let anyone know I was smart enough to buy a Montgomery (3 of em actually) 15,17 & 23

In the past, some members were very concerned that their postings were readable by non-members, so I closed the archives to public viewing and cancelled our searchable archives. I never quite understood the concern, since anyone can join the mailing and then read everything old and new, but that was what was wanted.
The question of searchable archives has come up again, so I'll ask the membership:
Would you like to have searchable archives if it means the archives are readable by anyone on the internet, including search engines?
As an example of what we could have, here is the main Lurker search engine page for Xmission hosted public lists;
