Notice that this is not the only place where email addresses from DCML 
messages end up. All DCML messages are automatically sent to the news 
group fa.disney-comics and there the "@" in the addresses are not even 
substituted by "at". The fact that DCML messages end up in a news group 
means that various news group archives/web interfaces might harvest the 
messages from there and display them with unscrambeled email addresses 
on even more websites, e.g. Google Groups: 
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=fa.disney-comics
