[Translation] e-mails on the TT

[linksrhein]

Hi d,

thanks for taking part in webdesign problems. For me it's ok to do it 
also here on the list, in parallel to the wiki.

You can access the given emails by clicking on the yellow pencil 
("edit") in the upper right corner of each posting.

It is easy to make the emails visible in the posting, but we didn't do 
this for purpose:. The reason for not showing is the spam-problem. The 
longer you have your email adress visible to robots the better they can 
collect your email and send spam to it. If ppl check the checkbutton 
"Notify me ...." while posting, they will get automatic emails from the 
tool even if their email is not visible to human beings or robots. PPl 
who want to give their email in a visible form can post it in the body 
or description field.

Best wishes
