Hello all,

Does anyone out there know whether the email addresses which are displayed
on publicly available web archive pages from the listserv software are
harvestable (is that a word ?) by such entities as web robots and spiders ?

Sorry, what I mean is if your list has a public archive, then theoretically
anyone can view the archives of your list. Could those people then run an
automated system over those archives to harvest the email addresses of
everyone who has posted to the list ? Or does the fact that they are served
up but the wa cgi script protect from such mechanisms ?

Regards
Duncan
