Is it worth putting a copy of this mailing list into the Unix Archive?
I don't want to dump the mbox in, as it has all our e-mail addresses:
spam etc. I could symlink in the monthly text archives, e.g.
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2016-December.txt.gz
What do you think? Perhaps in Documentation/TUHS_Mail?

It definitely ought to be archived, if you can obscure the email addresses
whilst making them humanoid-readable. Damned spammers...
Could the task (of de-spamming the archive) be farmed out to some
volunteers? I will raise my hand, of course.

Eh... I think the horse has already bolted:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2017-February/008526.html
It would seem to be relatively easy to harvest the addresses of all posters already.

I've symlinked the mailman text archives in to the archive here:
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/TUHS/Mail_list/
Mailman does obfuscate the e-mail addresses somewhat.

The archive files already have the email addresses minimally obfuscated
(with "at"), and are already available in the right hand column at
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/ (which is probably a softer
target for spam bots than the archive itself) - it seems unlikely that
putting them in as-is would increase the amount of spam people get.

I think like the UTZOO archives, it would be incredibly invaluable
