i search on google news all the time, and only the 9fans archive --
wouldn't like to see that go...

i'd say strip the email is a better idea.  even if not stripped on the
psu.edu archive site that's still an improvement.

by the way, if you look at pse.edu archives of 9fans you'll see that
messages appear to contain only 9fans@cse address, so the only thing
you're left with, that contains the original poster's email address,
are the raw mailbox archives there.

Judging from the fact that none of the addresses i've previously
posted to 9fans from are affected (i.e.  the virus can find only the most
recent posts on usenet), i'd say substituting something bogus at the
usenet gateway will fix at least 90% of our problems...
