If there is support for it I can ask gmane to swith it off. But this is not
a good idea i find.
The email adress is not realy mangled but "encrypted". If you send a email
to a @public.gmane.org email adress you recieve a auto-responds that you
have to confirm befor it is forward to the real adress.
It is a very good anti-spam function and you still can send a email to
person. It is one the reasons i like the gmane acces to much, your email
adress is save from spammers.
