Nice work on the functionality, Helen & team. The spam solution is a
good compromise between conflicting requirements, IMHO.

However, a critically important feature of any newsreader, that was
available in the old newsreader but not the new one, is the ability
to obfuscate the poster's real email address, in order to prevent
spam from internet email harvesters. I sign as
altmanyDEL@gmailDEL.comDEL (and others have similar methods) so that
automated harvesters will not get my email, whereas human users
would. Until the new newsreader enables this, I will be forced to
keep using the old one for my posts.

Kudos again for the initiative and effort.
