| NNTP mung email addresses [message #14245] |

The users of my forum asked to have their email addresses munged in some way when their posts appeared on the NNTP server. While I don't claim this to be the best way to do it  , it is what I came up with on the fly..
Address was: Name <email(at)domain(dot)com>
Changes to: Name <email_at_domain_dot_com_fixme_>
But only on the NNTP side. Of course a good harvester could still strip the address out, but it calms my users.
Just throwing it out in case someone else may want it.
Patch is based on 2.6.0RC4.

One problem with your implementation that I see in RC5... If a name, not the email address, contains a "." or a "@" then the name is messed up as well. For example:
F. Name <namef(at)domain(dot)com>
becomes:
F[dot] Name <namef[at]domain[dot]com>
Hence the "find the email address only" part I borrowed and used in my munging. What I used was probably overkill because the post is coming from FUD and FUD will format the email address a certain way.
