	Most of the addresses are obfuscated already, however there
are few domain names (note, we are not talking about e-mail addresses)
in plain text.

	Sure, it is fixable, but is it worth _my_ rather valuable
free time?  The answer to that would be a big resounding: "Absolutely NOT".
Why you ask?

* The damage is already done 
* The most obvious address are obfuscated already in current archives
* I have better things to do

	However, if somebody feels so strongly about this, then by
all means please provide me with a tested script which will go through
and modify all the html files to remove the plain text domain name without
breaking the archive.  The key points are *tested* and *without breaking*.

	Really sorry about my tone here, :( but I spend way too much
time on piddly administrative duties where my time would be better spent
fixing the software.  Better software or admin issues.  Pick any ONE.

    software related.  That does absolutely nothing but create more
    e-mail load for everybody.
