Synopsis: GNATS regularly mined by spammers for e-mail addresses

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: schweikh
State-Changed-When: Mon Oct 28 14:02:37 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
While we realize that spam is am increasing nuisance, the way to reduce
and fight it is not to cripple or lobotomize our tools. Removing contact
information in a bug tracking tool which often requires contacting the
originator is a no-go. It should be as easy as possible. I note you have
mangled your address to martycombs@127.0.0.1 which will probably lead to
this message not reaching you and have the postmaster of freefall (where
I edit this PR) get upset. This is what you get for chosing the wrong
way to fight spam. :-(
