I am all for this method of protecting us from spam.  I also am recieving
countless spam emails every hour and am pretty sure it has something to do
with the business newsgroups.  I have another email address (on another
computer through the same ISP) and do not access these newsgroups through
it, and have not recieved a single spam email like the recent ones coming
through.

Any munge format would be fine.  They all appear to be self-explanatory.  I
wish I had been doing this myself before.  What a pain.
