The content of the message is also changed when you turn an email address into a hyperlink.
Strange. I cannot see any email address (which came to the lug server) which has been converted into an hyperlink. All the hyperlinked entities have been inserted into the headers of the message sent by the lug-list by the lug-list-mailer. This message contains the /same/ body part of the message received from the original sender plus some footers. IMHO the body of the original message is still included as it was - intact (as it should be).
My point is that this issue be resolved considering practical issues rather than on the basis of "Right Thing" ideologies.
"Right Thing" has to be kept in mind while considering practical issues. Right Things are "Right Things" for a good reason.
