I apologize, but I didn't save the email that told who was
taking over while Jay took a sabatical...
The questions:
Is the email address obfuscation in the archive up and running,
and if not, when will it be? I am preparing to switch to an
new email address, and don't want to provide it to the spammers
directly... I'll wait until the obfuscation is in place before
switching.
Does the list archiver honor the 'X-NoArchive: Yes' line? Can it
be made to? I'd like to be able to announce something (like the
username/password for my private FTP site), but I don't want it
to live forever in the archive. It's unlikely a spider would
find the announcement and I'd get a hacker trying to break in,
but why risc it...
Best Regards,
Clint

That would be me. I haven't really been doing anything except keeping the
status quo for Jay. I've contemplated trying a few different list
configuration options out, but I haven't yet had the time to do a thorough
review of all the available options. Any zany ideas I have will be filtered
through the approval of Jay and the rest of the list.
Anyway, I have to leave for work now. When I get back I'll do some research
and answer your questions. Thanks!

This email contains answers to recent member questions, some new questions
for members, and news of recent changes.
RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS:
Is the email address obfuscation in the archive up and
running,
Yes, but it has problems. It only obfuscates the 'From:' address. Many
people include email addresses in their sig blocks or introduce quoted text
with "On mm/dd/yyyy, name <user@domain> wrote:" or similar lines. The
obfuscator doesn't obfuscate these things, so the whole feature seems rather
worthless to me. The spam-conscious should definitely use a different safety
method.
Does the list archiver honor the 'X-NoArchive:
Yes' line?
No.
Can it be made to?
I don't see any options for that.
I'd like to be able to announce something (like
the username/password for
my private FTP site), but I don't want it to live forever in the archive.
Workaround: announce on the list that you will give out the info, but make
people email you to request it. Send the info out privately to those who
request it.
NEW QUESTIONS:
Considering how vulnerable it is (see above), would anybody mind if I turned
off the obfuscator?
Currently, "[CCTECH]" is prepended to all subject headers sent to cctech.
Would anyone mind if I lowercased that to "[cctech]"? The capital letters
seem to be screaming a little too much.
Would anyone mind if "[cctalk]" was appended to all subject headers sent to
cctalk?
What are our opinions on the two-lists solution?
Cctech isn't currently moderated. In fact, it never has been AFAIK. It seems
to have stayed on-topic without moderation. Are we ready for moderation to
be turned on, or should we consider alternatives?
RECENT CHANGES
The problem with the autocrossposting of cctech posts has been fixed. Posts
from cctech subscribers should no longer require
approval before they
forward to cctalk. If the problem still occurs for you, you can
stop it by
subscribing to cctalk and disabling mail delivery for it on the options
page.
The date shown for archived posts has been changed from the 'sent' date
(what the author says the date is) to the 'resent' date (what the classiccmp
server thinks the date is). This will protect our archive from the people
whose computers think it is 1970.

Yes. This has been asked and answered already, around 15-17 May. I
proposed dumping of the headers and there were about five posts
supporting the motion and no dissenters, IIRC.
