To be honest, I don't have a problem with the addresses to be shown.
Lukas: Could you look into it though?

Description:
------------
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I will
give it a shot.
The automatic posts from PHP WIKI (wiki.php.net) that get posted to
http://news.php.net/php.webmaster show unfiltered
email addresses
("someone@somewhere.net" instead of "someone at somewhere dot net").
The unfiltered emails are shown in the posts, as shown below:
---------------------------------------------
A new user has registered. Here are the details:
User name : xxx
Full name : xxx xxx
E-mail : someone@somewhere.net < PROBLEM!
Date : 2009/09/13 04:41
Browser : Mozilla/5.0 ...
IP-Address : xx.xx.xx.xx
Hostname : xxx
---------------------------------------------
This information can be picked up very easily by spam bots, and this
single point of weakness makes filtering the addresses everywhere else
all for nothing. I would appreciate if it was fixed, and the existing
posts are rectified in some way, as my email address is posted
unfiltered in one such message.
Thanks
