As pointed out on the mailman-developers list, potential users of
this patch should be aware that the simple approach to masking
email addresses used by this patch will also capture and munge
any other strings in the archive data that resemble email
addresses. This can include mailto URLs, other URLs and Message
ids. This side-effect may make the patch unsuitable for use with
your system, although you also need to consider that the patch
does not irreversibly change the source pipermail archived
material held on the server; the changes are only made in the
copy of the archive material sent to the requesting browser by the
server.
