For all of the developers who are tired of receiving porn, pharmaceutical and 
other notices, I would like to change The Source Mage Developers [0] Wiki 
page, modifying the e-mail addresses so they are not easy for spammers to 
scavenge.  If you want to keep receiving those notices, just let me know and 
I'll leave your e-mail address alone.

The reason I am posting this is because we will lose the ability to just 
click 
on an e-mail address and have a new e-mail message pop open with the e-mail 
address already entered in the To: field.  Personally, I'm okay with manually 
typing to reduce the spam.

It seems we have two ways of doing it: 1) the entire e-mail address as one 
long word with the @ and the . converted to something like_AT_ and _DOT_ (as 
Andrew as done for his e-mail addresses -- I followed his lead), or 2) each 
piece separated by a space.  The advantage of using method 1 is that we can 
still do the instant e-mail message trick, but we will have to convert the 
_AT_ and _DOT_ (or whatever) back to their appropriate symbols.  The 
advantage of using method number 2 is we can do a direct copy and paste and 
remove the spaces.

Unless there is a better way that I have not thought of, I think converting 
all the e-mail addresses to the method 1 format is what I will do.  Let me 
know.

Also, I'm not sure about this, should Jabber addresses be converted also, or 
are they resistant to spam?
