How about this:
Perhaps instead of showing an email address, the site could have, for each
contributer, a link to a "send email" page where a person could compose an
email, and hit send. The sending user would not see the recipient's email
address. The site, which knows the email address, would then send the
email. If two people are interested in further communication, they can
always exchange email addresses through use of this "email" page.
Sincerely,
Brian Galebach

Dear Seqfans
What should we do about posting email addresses in the OEIS ?
On the one hand it is important to post addresses so that
people can get in touch with each other about sequences
On the other hand there are programs that search the web
for email addresses and sell them to spammers
One possible solution would be to modify email addresses in an obvious way
For example, change lbj at whitehouse.com to lbj=OEIS=whitehouse.com
in other words, replace "@" in every email address by "=OEIS="
Does anyone have a better idea?
