I have noticed on external RoR forums that my email is re-formated to  
‘email at domain dot com’

This does NOT provide suficient protection from spam bots.

I have just noticed more and more SPAM.

So please consider this, Re-formating a visual exposure of email needs  
to be improved !

RForum doesn’t do any reformatting. The posts are sent to the mailing  
list as regular mails with your address.

Hello Andreas.  
RForum is a great site in this days especialy for Ruby and RoR.

Ok, now I understand a reason why I’m getting spam. for sure some of  
mailing lists where Your subscribed your rforum doesn’t protect our  
emails.

So my question is, Can You reformat our emails so that we can feel a bit  
protected from spam bots ?
