We do encode the HTML source of each post in an active archive.  It isn't
superhardened against bots, but it does use a modicum of obfuscation, and
standard encodings.

Your address appears as follows:


[some encoded string]


I did this update to the encoding (this is a recent change to our
archives), so this would not have been noticeable when you sent your note.

If you have any further questions, please refer to our Archive Editing
Policy[1].
