[DML] Sending Private Emails

Something that the list needs to be aware of. As a spam-prevention measure,
eGroups "hides" email addresses by dropping the last character of the name,
just before the @, when mail is posted to the archive. It generally appears
normally in the messages that get sent out and in the offline digests and
archives.
If you see an email address that looks like joeblo-@xxxx, the "-"
is the replacement character. If you need to figure out someone's address,
the moderators can usually look it up.
Sorry about the confusion, but this does (kind of) keep the Spammers from
harvesting everyone's email address for nefarious purposes.
