I don't seem to remember seeing the CONCEAL command before. Is it new?
I remember we had some difficulty a while back with a spammer that mailed
to everybody on the list individually, and it was mentioned that he
probably got the names from the listserver, I assume by the REVIEW
command. So, I take it using CONCEAL would help avoid that little
problem?
