[vlc-devel] E-mail addresses in the WIN32 packages

[Johan Bilien]

Hi all,

I would like to request the obfuscation of e-mail addresses in the .txt
files we include in the WIN32 packages. E-mail worms such as Netsky look
for e-mail addresses in .txt files. Applying something like the included
patch could reduce the amount of e-mails sent with forged From: and To:
headers set to a VideoLAN developer I receive daily.

Thanks,
