*ALL* sender names to vn-gblf are already hidden and forward to the list
under "anon" token.
What you do think about names/address mentioned on the message body
itself? Should we mask the john_doe@mail.com as something else like
user@nowhere?
Name mentioned in the body is eternally dificult to remove for the reason
that we donot have a program to find and remove/replace it.
I recomend that we have the archive avai under some passwd protection
in which passwd will be published for current member. It is not going to
be a perfect method but we can limit access to a certain extend.
