[OTR-users] Installing patch for Gaim2.x

[Josh Steiner]

i'm with tehownt here, its pretty rude to archive peoples email 
addresses for spam harvesters.  obfuscation really does protect email 
addresses.  i post to lists a lot and get about 500 spams a day, other 
people on the same domain as me don't post to public lists and only get 
in the 10's.
