Why?  Why not put the onus on the subscriber?  Are you going to mask
out phone numbers and other personal info too?  Also, David, there may
be legitimate reasons to keep the email address in a archived post,
such as a "If anyone is interested in this, contact me offlist at
dbcemud@yahoo.com".  I would think that would be worth keeping
unchanged in the archive.  It really has to be up to the subscriber to
decide whether to put it in the body or not, IMO.

I learned long ago not to archive every message that gets sent.  I use
the midrange.com archives extensively.  Yahoo gives me 4MB.  That's a
LOT of text-based email.  If I ever fill up that much space in an email
account that only sees Midrange-L posts, then I've got some
housecleaning to do.

Could you explain the bounced messages?  Are you speaking of *my*
web-based email account reaching capacity and bouncing back to *your*
server?  If so, again, I refer to the previous paragraph.  

BTW, Rob mentioned the spam he got from Ed Gizowski and I had replied
that I had not received any.  Well today I checked one of my other
email accounts that previously had only been used for a Midrange-Jobs
list subscription.  But I cancelled that subscription last August. 
AND, there's no archive for Midrange-Jobs.  Hmmm.
