Notice that this is not the only place where email addresses from DCML
messages end up. All DCML messages are automatically sent to the news
group fa.disney-comics and there the "@" in the addresses are not even
substituted by "at". The fact that DCML messages end up in a news group
means that various news group archives/web interfaces might harvest the
messages from there and display them with unscrambeled email addresses
on even more websites, e.g. Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=fa.disney-comics
