Email addresess in messages

Noel Leaver All Messages By This Member #2200 Recently a message asked if anyone had an email address for a particular company. It was supplied in a reply, which was fine if receiving postings by email but online the end of the address is replaced by .... My query is whether there is any way for an online user to find the full address. Noel
J_Catlady #2202 This was once a HUGE battle on the beta group. Some people feared that email addresses inadvertently included via email top-posts would remain indefinitely in the group archive, thus violating current members' privacy with respect to future members. It was finally settled in favor of the spoofing (aka "figleafing") being a group option, but the option has not yet been implemented. It's on the trello list and some of us have been waiting more than a year for it. :) J
jkm #2203 开云体育 I hope that io will leave the restriction as it is.?? I think readers have available some reasonable tools for the particular predicament you describe. Google-searching the company by name ? If that does not turn up a "contact us" address, try replying to the group message that give ?the munged address. In that reply ask that sender resend the address--but in am obviously technically broken form that will? elude? automated scans, while remaining easy fort? humans to read.? For instance, if the company's e-addres is " <mysterycompany@...>", s/he could rewrite the address as? 1)? "mysterycompany at commerce dot com"? OR ? 2) "id: mysterycompany / domain: commerce dot com". OR? ? 3)? stuff the address? with pre-identified nonsense syllables eg "remove 'box' and 'cox' and empty spacesfrom the following to find the company's address:? ?mysteryboxcompany at boxcoxcommerce . com. Etc., etc.? Someday, no doubt, AI will catch up with such simple shenanigans. ?Meanwhile use with discretion and sparingly. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Aug 23, 2017, at 3:37 AM, Noel Leaver <n.leaver@...> wrote: Recently a message asked if anyone had an email address for a particular company.
