I don't mean to be annoying or anything, but I don't understand the
problem here. What harm is done if a public list like this is
archived in other formats? Anyone can subscribe, the archives are
freely searchable and downloadable on the iem.at site. I am having a
hard time seeing any violation of privacy if someone mirrors the
public archive.
