....actually, no, he can't....
Well, the archive at the URL in the bottom of this mail *is* members-
only (need password to access, you can get the password from your
user info page), but the archive on lists.tako.de is not under my

I'm not sure if he's got an easy way to anonymize email adresses, but
we could ask?
