[Gmail-Users] Re: Happy New Year!

Fanis,

You do realize that when Google Groups posted this message, it
stripped off ALL To: addresses from the web version, and munged the
e-mails in the text and From: lines (registered users can see full
addresses with certain configurations).

Those of us that read this group as e-mail saw them all, but e-mail
harvesters probably don't subscribe to groups by e-mail, too
inefficient.
