Hiding address

[rusking]

I thought I'd worked out a way to stop spammers reading my address on here
but they can still see it. How do I remove sender from details?

[Note: this is the wrong newsgroup for this query; it's intended
for people who create online help for Windows programs.]

AFAIK Outlook Express doesn't create a "Sender" header, so I
assume its addition is a policy imposed by your BBC news
administrator.

(Also AFAIK) spammers' address-garnering bots do not yet pick up
the contents of a "Sender" header, but until the Swen worm
started using it, people always thought that an un-munged
"Reply-To" address was safe, too.

Thanks for imfo Peter,
