The archive files already have the email addresses minimally obfuscated (with "at"), and are already available in the right hand column at http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/ (which is probably a softer target for spam bots than the archive itself) - it seems unlikely that putting them in as-is would increase the amount of spam people get.
