Mailman was reinstalled -- configuration files remain the same as they were prior to the reinstall. I'll have to look into the archives issue. Can you tell me an example list where the settings were changed?
In fact, I'm not completely sure that this email-hiding stuff was working correctly before. I think it was the case but I don't remember very well how it was.
In fact, the setting seems not to be changed but while the privacy option "hide email address" is activated, we can get full email adresses by reading each archive files. For example, the archives of July of savannah-hackers.
Anyway, in any case the email address shouldn't be showned as it exist (but modifyed, for example rao .AT. gnu .DOT. org - in a way that does not help robots to fetch it) . This shouldn't be an option for mailling-list admin since every user that write to a @gnu.org mailing-list should have the garanty that everything possible to avoid spam is done.
