There is not really a facility to mangle email addresses inside messages 
... mainly because some people want their email addresses in the message.

As far as I'm concerned ... UCE (UCE = Unsolicited Commercial Email =

for it, I don't want it.  The onus should not be mine to tell you that I 
don't want it.
