Apparently Egroups hides email addresses to protect them from the web 
search robots that go prowling for SPAM targets.  However, if you
look 
at the message in the archive at egroups and click on it, A window
will 
come up allowing a message to be sent - something only a person can
do, 
apparently.

There is one small additional consequence of no attachments I forgot
to 
mention, far outweighed by having greatly reduced risk of virus 
transmission.  Most email applications make a forwarded message an 
attachment.  So you cannot forward something to an egroups list set
to 
'no attacnments'; you must copy and paste the content you want to 
forward into you message
