It's also anoying as hell seeing huge jumbles like jidanni-8D0D3YcSAvhAfugRpC6u6w, and completely unreadable.
Actually, it screws up svn urls sometimes as well because they use a bad regex match and sometimes people include the username@ inside of the svn url. So gmane goes and tries to encrypt a svn url making it unusable and leaving it up to the user to piece it back together.

Can the gmane administrators have permission to turn email address encryption
Why?
it prevents seeing people's real email addresses, and it breaks PGP signing.
it's also pointless, since the real addresses are already available in the mailman archived.
