I put together a little general Yahoo info here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin_Files/Yahoo_Help_File


Relevant bit:
"Email address:  Yahoo "munges" addresses online, which means that
someone reading posts by webview will not be able to see your full 
email address; what they will see is something like this:  
"hpfgu_elves at ..." List members can see their own full addresses in 
their own posts (and can also delete their own posts), and the list 
elves are able to see full addresses.  (This goes for the messages 
on the Announcements list, as well.)

However, full addresses are visible in emails.  This means that list
members who receive posts by either Individual Emails or Digests 
will be able to see the address in the messages they receive in their 
inbox."

So yes, someone can't see your full address in webview (nor will a 
Google search turn up your posts or address from the HPfGU groups), 
but people who receive messages by individual mail and digest will 
see your address in full.

Mm, who knows...you know, if you haven't edited your Marketing 
Preferences (via your Yahoo user account), that might help:

"To do this, sign in to Yahoo, go into "My Account".   This takes 
you to the "Yahoo! Account Info" page; in the "Member Information" 
section, there's a link that says "Edit your marketing preferences."

Follow this to the next page; in the "Special offers and marketing 
communications from Yahoo!" section, you'll see a series of checked 
boxes. Uncheck them (any you do not want) and scroll to the bottom 
of the page where you'll see a "Save Changes" button to click."

I still gets loads of spam anyway, but Yah's spam filters seem to do
a good job of catching most of it, thank goodness.
