Gee, could that be why I'm reporting this as a problem?

"Real" archive, "complete" archive, "entire" archive. Whatever. Isn't
it nice that people have to download YEARS worth of messages just to read 
the complete, unmangled version of the last three hour's worth?

>The real archive, a.k.a. "entire archive" is not obfuscated.

Then there is no reason to mangle the "complete" archive. I mean, if
spammers are already being handed years of real email addresses, why
should MESSAGE BODIES be mangled to prevent them from getting invalid
ones?
