Hi,
Why not explain to them in during the signup process and welcome email that they are in fact publishing their emails to the general public, and that they can choose to remain anonymous?
My philosophy about search engines is the more the merrier: let end users decide how best to access the content.
Thanks, George / GChriss

Might I ask why Google was forbidden from indexing the mailing lists in the first place?
People complained about their names turning up in Google searches when they (gasp) posted to a public mailing list. Brion got tired of dealing with them, so he deindexed the archive.
