GroupServer now hides (redacts, obscures, censors) email address that are shown
on the web pages of public groups. Instead of the address, GroupServer writes
"<email obscured>". Email addresses shown on the web pages of private or secret
groups are shown in their full glory, and are made into "mailto:" links, so you
can send someone a message by clicking on the address. We did consider
redacting all email addresses that are shown to people who are not logged in,
and then showing them to logged in users, but this confused some people in the
past.
The redacting code itself works with the same code the displays YouTube movies
in messages on the Web, such as the one below.
The message that is stored by GroupServer is not altered. Rather, GroupServer
marks up the message before displaying it on the Web. The email messages that
are sent out by GroupServer are not touched by the email-address redacting
code, or the code that inserts YouTube movies into posts.
